Degree Requirements

The program requires 40 semester hours of graduate-level course work. All MS students are required to take a course in Management, in Leadership, in Applied Research, and in Communication Law.

Courses outside the department are selected by students in consultation with their academic advisers.

Each student must conclude the program by writing a capstone case study—an in-depth analysis of a professional issue, either at their current place of employment or derived from public sources such as the media.
