Communication practitioners need a strong research base upon which to make design decisions. The M.S. in Communication and Rhetoric offers students a solid foundation in communication theory and practice-oriented communication research skills. As part of their program students are able to study web interaction, computer-mediated communication, communication marketing, and other modes of technologically mediated communication.
The M.S. in Communication and Rhetoric draws on the core M.S. courses and also gives students a grounding in analytical methods and in the research literature of a specific theoretical area.
