The Research M.A. focuses on developing tools in mass communication research and typically leads to enrollment in a doctoral program. Course work should provide background and training in an appropriate mixture of communication theory and analytical tools; solid grasp of theory and methods should be evident in the student’s M.A. thesis. The student defends the thesis before a three-person certification committee in an oral examination at the end of the program.
