Communication Studies
The School of Communication Studies (COMS) offers three distinct academic programs for our students. The Bachelor of Science Degree promotes a liberal arts orientation in which students learn to pose questions and pursue answers by critically thinking, describing, synthesizing, critiquing and imagining.
Our two online master's degrees allow professionals to advance their careers while studying and earning a degree from a distance.
Our top-ranked Ph.D. program provides students with rigorous instruction to develop and enhance research expertise in relating and organizing, health communication, and rhetoric and culture.
