Masters in Human Communication and
Social Influence [abbreviated MA in sub-documents headings]
The Masters in Human Communication
and Social Influence fosters the advanced study of Rhetoric and Interpersonal
Communication. Our faculty in Interpersonal Communication are interested in media portrayals of interpersonal relationships,
particularly those involving older Americans. Our faculty in Rhetoric are
interested in the intersection of public persuasion and issues of national
identity. The M.A. in Human
Communication and Social Influence can be pursued as an end in itself (for
example, working as a Communication Consultant or Speechwriter), and is also a stepping stone for pursuing the doctorate.
