General Advising Information
If this is your
first
term, register for CA 500, which is an introduction
to the program and academics in communication studies.
Although only one hour, this course has weekly assignments and
takes considerable time.
If this is your
first
year, we recommend that you also take one additional
course the first term for a total of 4 credit hours. If you are just beginning the program, focus on required courses.
The first year, we recommend these foundation courses. CA 501—Communication
Theory, CA 516—Qualitative Research, CA 517—Quantitative
Research, and CA 505—Organizational Leadership, and an elective
during the summer.
If this is your
second year, we recommend you take these courses: CA
529--Cross Cultural, CA670 Measuring Leadership, CA 699
Epistemology, and CA 520 Organizational Change.
One 3-credit hour
course per term is considered a full-time load for a graduate
student. Remember, these courses are offered on
an accelerated 8-week basis. Students can take a maximum
of 6 hours per term, which is considered an overload. You
will want to make sure that you do not combine two particularly
demanding courses at the same time.
Probation
Submit GRE
scores, letters of references, and other requirements prior to full
enrollment.
Program Completion
Schedule
You need take one course per term, including one elective course
each summer. Then add in one extra hour your first
term (CA 500) and an extra hour each term during your last year
for the thesis or project, in order to complete the program in
two years.

you can get an idea of the nature of the course by checking an old

Tentative Course Rotation
We are a relatively small program, which means there
is no set rotation of courses. We do seek to make all required courses
available once a year in both formats. In order to "make," a class
needs at least 7 students, or it will be cancelled.
