The Mass Communication graduate program offers its students the option of pursuing either a non-thesis track or a thesis track.  In general, it is possible for the full-time student to complete the program in an 18-month period.  However, most students take at least two years to complete the degree, especially if they are on a thesis track.

All students are required to take MC 5301 Mass Media and Society, MC 5302 Research Methods in Mass Communication, and MC 5303 Theories of Mass Communication.
