Welcome to the exciting world of media research. In our Ph.D. and Media Studies programs, you'll acquire the tools necessary to conduct research in the academic, private, and public sectors. In today's constantly changing media environment, you'll have no shortage of topics to explore.

Both programs encourage students to intellectually engage with mass communications theories and research methods and to enhance both through interdisciplinary work. Your curriculum will be flexible and you're encouraged to pursue your own interests.

From the first days of our fast-paced, three-year program, our doctoral students begin researching and working closely with faculty to build their research profiles. Our Media Studies students hone their research and writing skills to prepare themselves for research-related careers or doctoral study. Look around and you'll find our alums in top communications programs around the country.
