At Newhouse, you will find a stimulating intellectual environment where you may explore and specialize in a variety of topics, including media ethics and diversity; media sociology; new media; political communication; popular television; public relations; or social effects. Our three-year program emphasizes excellence in research and teaching.

You will be actively engaged in research incorporating a wide variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, and encouraged to present your work at national and international conferences. You will also be active in Syracuse University's Future Professoriate Program, which provides superior training and mentoring in college level teaching.

Newhouse doctoral students are funded fully for three years and receive financial support from University Fellowships or research or teaching assistantships. Up to five students are admitted to the program each year.
