The M.A. in visual communication requires a minimum of 35 credit hours, including 5 hours of Master’s Project (VICO 6960), which is the culminating experience.
A broad program, this concentration allows students to choose more than half of their coursework to fit their goals, including audio/video storytelling, management, design, interactive design, photography and picture editing, applying these skills to creative production work, collaboration and discussion.

A required progress review is held toward the end of the first semester, or completion of 15 credits, to assess the student’s suitability for continued study.
Internships are encouraged for all graduate students, unless significant professional experience within your selected area has been gained prior to entering the program. This internship or practical education is not taken for credit towards your degree.
The Master's Project
The Master's Project is the culmination of study in visual communication in the Master of Arts program and must include a significant visual component related to a student’s studies. Students conceptualize, research, propose, produce, and defend a project of their choice with the guidance and approval of a graduate committee.
