Student Central - Master of Arts in Communication Studies
Our program offers a broad and flexible course of study, centered around our belief that communication is formative and foundational to human identities, relationships, and communities, and that ethical and strategically effective communication can be the means of critiquing, constructing, and transforming identities, relationships, and communities.
Admission to our graduate program is based on the evaluation of transcripts, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, a writing sample, a personal statement that articulates the reasons for graduate study in Communication at UNCG, and a personal interview.
For fall admission, applications are due by April 1. To be considered for an assistantship, applications are due by March 1.
Assistantships include a stipend, basic health insurance coverage, and, usually, a tuition waiver. TAs help teach our CST 105: Introduction to Communication Studies speaking-intensive course. (If you have experience working in a Speaking Center, there may be assistantship funding available through the UNCG Speaking Center.)
