The mass communication program emphasizes the theoretical study of mass communication and analysis of media systems and effects. The program is not designed to provide professional skills training in journalism.
Areas of specialization include media processes, influences, and effects (including health communication, advertising, and political communication); media law, ethics, history; and media management. All programs are suffused with the study of new communication technologies.
