Graduate Program
Master of Communications and Media Management
M.S. in Journalism and Media Communication
Colorado State University’s Department of Journalism and Media Communication develops communication professionals and scholars who address communication-related societal issues across a variety of situations.
Communication technologies have a profound impact on individual behavior, organizations, and society. As these technologies evolve, we need to understand their influence on the different levels of society.
Our M.S and Ph.D. programs allow students to explore their interests in digital media, social media, new media, and mass communication.
Students can specialize in:
• Health communication.
• Environmental communication.
• Agricultural communication.
• Science communication.
• New communication technologies.
• Journalism, including print, broadcast, and web media.
• Strategic communication, including public relations and advertising.
Our graduate students work closely with a variety of other academic departments, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, business, and computer science.
We keep our graduate program small, so we can help our students thrive. Our faculty members are dedicated to creating a supportive environment for students to learn and grow as scholars and as people.
Our students are part of a rigorous scholarly and research scene at world-class Colorado State University. CSU students study, work, and play at the edge of the Rocky Mountain foothills, in beautiful Fort Collins - recognized as one of the premier places to live. This vibrant and entrepreneurial city is home to many top-notch technology firms and is renowned for its culture and outstanding craft breweries.
Best of all, nearly all of our graduate students receive funding that provides tuition, insurance, and a salary stipend. We offer competitive levels of financial support for both master's and Ph.D. students through teaching and research assistantships.
