MA Program for Academia or Industry
Our communication faculty are leading experts in communication. Thus, they provide exceptional coursework to students along with opportunities outside of the classroom to apply theory to basic or applied research projects and real-world problems. Master’s students graduate as independent scholars who are competitive applicants to doctoral programs or skilled practitioners in fields outside of academia. Students in the MA program can study in the areas of Rhetoric and Culture, Relating and Organizing, Technology and Media.
In 2024, College Factual’s ranking system listed UWM’s master’s program in communication number 31 in the country.
