Drexel offers two complementary graduate programs: The MS in Communication, with a hands-on approach, prepares students for careers in technical communication, science communication, and public communication.

The PhD in Culture & Communication, having a more scholarly orientation, is designed to develop innovative scholar-teachers who know how to impart theories and case studies on the interaction of social forces and communication. The program is designed to train socially committed researchers in quantitative and qualitative approaches to communication study.
