This accelerated program enables students to earn both a Bachelor’s in Communication and a Master’s degree in Applied Communication Theory and Methodology. The program allows a School of Communication student to take up to 9 credit hours of designated COM graduate courses and count these courses both toward the Bachelor’s and the Master’s degrees in COM. Students must apply during their third (junior) year of undergraduate study and, if accepted, start COM graduate coursework during their fourth (senior) year. Students may then complete all remaining COM graduate coursework in one year of full-time graduate study.
