Master of Science in Communication

Requirements for Admission
Applicants must meet the general requirements for admission to graduate studies. Applicants with a GPA below 3.0 must provide scores from the Graduate Record Examination. Students who wish to be considered for teaching and research assistantships should also take the GRE. Prospective students must also submit with their applications a 1,500-word statement explaining why they want to enter the program. The program's screening committee carefully reads the essays to evaluate each applicant’s writing skills and sense of purpose.

The program accommodates students from both science and humanities backgrounds. Some students pursue their degrees while already working in technical or scientific fields; others are new to the field. For students without work experience, the program features a paid 6-month internship.
