The School of Communication Studies graduate programs, begun in 1950, have developed a tradition of academic innovation and achievement. 

Graduate students pursue programs of study in 

• Interpersonal communication
• Mediated (mass) communication
• Health communication
• New information technologies
• Persuasion

The Communication Studies graduate program has a strong research orientation. Faculty and graduate students conduct research, publish in the discipline's journals, and present papers at international, national, and regional conventions on a regular basis.

A recent survey indicates that alumni of the graduate program enjoy a high rate of employment in universities and organizations across the country, well above the national average.
