COMMUNICATION

The Department of Culture & Communication offers motivated students the opportunity to pursue Communication at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels:

At the Bachelor's level:

Corporate Communications (BA, BS)
Technical & Science Communication (BS)
Global Journalism (BA)

At the Masters level:

Communication (M.S)
Publication Management (M.S.)

Drexel’s Master of Science in Communication prepares students for careers in a wide range of professional activities. The program specializes in three areas: technical communication, science communication, and public communication. Technical communication is for those seeking employment as technical writers, computer documentation specialists, and training specialists. Science communication has much to offer those who aspire to medical, science, and pharmaceutical writing. A concentration in public communication leads to careers in journalism and public relations. In addition, the program provides a strong foundation in theoretical approaches to communication. This theoretical basis is designed to ensure that, as the field changes, students will continue to have an intellectual framework for evaluating and implementing new technology and changing media.

Drexel's Master of Science in Publication Management builds on the individual’s undergraduate content base by providing knowledge about the key elements of the publishing process needed by a publishing executive. The program also serves the needs of individuals already employed in the printing or publishing industry who are seeking to update or broaden their knowledge. Students completing the program may find career opportunities in the management of traditional publishing companies as well as in corporate communication areas of a broad range of business and education. Entrepreneurial opportunities provide another area of career development.

At the Doctoral level:
Culture & Communication (Ph.D.)

The PhD in Culture & Communication, having a more scholarly orientation, is designed to develop innovative scholar-teachers who know how to impart theories and case studies on the interaction of social forces and communication. The program is designed to train socially committed researchers in quantitative and qualitative approaches to communication study.
