Master of Arts in Communication

University of Colorado - Denver

Our MA program is a 30-credit (10 courses) generalist degree designed to enhance students' intellectual and professional growth in communication research and practice. Students can focus exclusively on communication theory and research, or they can choose to also mix in applied skills (primarily in elective courses). Alongside our courses that advance students' professional goals, our MA program highlights civic engagement and using ethical communication to advocate for social justice and transformation. The Communication department is a community of learners, scholars, and teachers who are committed to our shared mission: ''cultivating the ability to use communication to create a more equitable and humane world.'' The program combines both in-person and online components. We offer some courses online and others in-person, so the program cannot be completed solely online nor can it be completed entirely with in-person only coursework. In general, typically more of the program is online than in-person, but the format of the required courses can vary by semester and it also depends which electives a student selects.
