Master’s of Mass Communication:
International/Intercultural Communication Specialization
The field of international communication encompasses the study of international journalism (both print and broadcast) and international business and marketing communication. The field of intercultural communication focuses on the interactions between people of different cultures, values and histories.
Through their study, students learn to appreciate and engage diverse cultures and media, gaining the knowledge and skills you need to thrive in today’s challenging global community.
The international/intercultural track in mass communication culminates with the student writing a thesis on an international/intercultural topic in communication, applying one or more of the methods used in communication research.
As part of the requirements for the degree, students acquire skills in intercultural communication, and knowledge of a specific culture or region of the world. Students are required to demonstrate proficiency in at least one language besides English, and to complete an internship.
Recipients of the degree find work in U.S. and international media organizations (print, broadcast, and online), multinational corporations, international consulting companies, or the public sector including international agencies and non-governmental organizations, the U.S. State Department, state and local government, and non-profit organizations. Graduates may also elect to continue pursuing higher degrees in graduate or professional schools.
