What’s Grad School Like?
Graduate courses are significantly more rigorous than undergraduate courses; and the Department of Communication Studies takes seriously its mission to train graduate students in humanistic and social scientific approaches to the discipline. The payoff is that our graduates are prepared to enter doctoral programs and to become excellent instructors.
