• Crisis and Risk Communication

• Critical studies

• Health Communication

• Interactive and Entertainment Media

• Interpersonal, Intergroup, and Family Communication

Applicants are required to submit a vitae, cover letter, personal statement detailing specific interests, and writing samples. *We are NOT requiring GRE scores* for this cohort of applicants due to potential COVID19 hardships or barriers; writing samples will be carefully considered in its place. 
Best-fit applicants will likely have a master’s degree in media or communication disciplines, however those with other backgrounds are considered. It is necessary to indicate the faculty you are interested in working with, so applicants are encouraged to reach out to the program director if unsure about fit or potential advisers.
