CMS Graduate Program
As one of the top graduate programs in Communication Studies, we are dedicated to increasing understanding of the processes and effects of communication and to improve its practice in a variety of relationships, organizations and communities. We enroll approximately 80 students in both masters and doctoral degrees and our student community boasts representation from many parts of the nation and world.
The size of the program at UT is particularly well-suited for students who are still looking for their research “home” and professors at UT are great at facilitating this process! The other grad students are wonderful — friendly, helpful, and eager to collaborate.
Expanding Knowledge
Communication is a broad and interdisciplinary field of study and we encourage students to tailor a program that suits their interests.
You’re part of a team!
Graduate students work closely with faculty advisors and fellow student scholars to develop their research and teaching skills in a collaborative environment.
