The M.A. in strategic communication is designed to serve working communications professionals in advertising, public relations, corporate communications, nonprofit organizations, and government. The 33-credit program is conceptually and structurally distinct from the existing academic master's degree in mass communication in that it focuses on advanced professional study of communications strategy, planning, evaluation, and creative management.
The University of Minnesota is one of only a handful of institutions to offer a professional master's program in strategic communication designed for the busy working professional.
