M.A. Program Requirements
The Graduate School offers the Master's degree under two plans: Plan A, including a thesis, and Plan B, which substitutes additional course work and a special project for the thesis. Students may change their plan, with the consent of their adviser, if program revisions conflict with the original plan. Most students take at least two academic years to finish.
M.A. Plan A and Plan B Degree Requirements
The degree is offered under Plan A (thesis) and Plan B (non-thesis). Both plans require a minimum of 15 course credits in Communication Studies, including comm 5421 and comm 5615, and a minimum of 6 course credits in a minor or related fields. Plan A also requires 10 thesis credits. Plan B requires an additional 6 credits of course work and a Plan B paper.
