Mass Media and Communication
The School of Communications and Theater offers the Ph.D.
degree in Mass Media and Communication. This is a scholarly research degree grounded
in communication theory and research methodology. It focuses on social processes and
media institutions. MM&C students may include in their curriculum a limited
amount of media production course work.
The Ph.D. consists of 72 semester-hours beyond the Bachelor's
degree. Up to 30 hours of master's degree credits from other universities may be
applied to the Ph.D.; students entering the program with a BTMM Master's degree may
petition to transfer all Temple graduate credits taken for that degree. For the
first year of study, Ph.D. students must be in full-time residence, thereafter the degree
may be earned part time. The degree course consists of course work, preliminary
examinations, a doctoral dissertation proposal and the dissertation. All classes are
held on the Main campus.
