Communication

Master of Arts

Master of Arts Communications

Communication can be strategic and thought- provoking, and inspire action. Our faculty will help you explore the research methods and theories behind communication, apply your research and challenge you to think critically about communication issues.

Students in the program are working professionals and recent college graduates, which makes classroom discussions quite stimulating. Courses are primarily offered at the Lowcountry Graduate Center.
