The master's program in communication and information studies
offers a variety of options to address the preparatory and continuing
educational needs of the communication/information professional in
contemporary society. The program prepares students within a
communication theoretic framework that stresses the interrelated
demands and responsibilities of work, society, and self within the
context of the dramatic transformations characteristic of the
information age. It offers students the opportunity to attain skills,
tools, and methodologies to design, implement, and manage communication
and information processes and technologies, and the ability to
critically anticipate and evaluate not only the products, but also the
unforeseen by-products, of communication and information processes and
technologies.
Students motivated to pursue careers in
research and scholarship related to communication/information studies
are encouraged to apply and may enroll in colisted courses offered
in the doctoral program in communication, information, and library
studies.
