Based on a longstanding combination of productive scholars and 
successful alumni, the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Communication at 
Michigan State University ranks at the top nationally in reputation, 
productivity, and key awards.  The Doctorate in Communication at 
Michigan State University is regarded to be one of the most prestigious 
communication science degrees in the world. Since our founding in 1957, 
we have produced over 380 doctoral graduates who have gone on to serve 
as prolific, world-renowned researchers, inspiring educators, and highly 
sought-after communication consultants.

We produce well-rounded scholars by engaging students in a curriculum 
that requires that they develop expertise in communication theory, 
empiricism, quantitative methods and teamwork. Doctoral students tailor 
their doctoral experiences and coursework in conjunction with their 
guidance committees as they continue to develop their research agenda 
through participation in research teams and other individually-led 
research projects.

The Ph.D. in Communication is designed as a 4-year program, culminating 
in a dissertation. First year students take core coursework in theory 
and research. Once the core material is mastered the program’s focus is 
directed toward helping students to develop specializations in 
communication as well as expertise in one or more other fields. Internal 
specializations include social network analysis, social media, 
communication analytics, mediated communication, persuasion and social 
influence, health and risk communication, interpersonal and group 
communication, diffusion of innovations, organizational communication 
and quantitative research methods.  The faculty can be found here:
