About us
OSU's School of Communication is one of the top three Communication Graduate Programs in the country, and is top ranked in many of its specialty areas. Graduate study in communication at OSU is flexible and tailored to the individual, with coursework and individual study taking place within the context of theoretical perspectives grounded in empirical social science.
The School of Communication offers full funding to every student we admit to our M.A. and Ph.D. programs in the form of either a Graduate Associateship or Graduate Fellowship. These funding packages allow students to focus all of their energies on better understanding communication theory and research without the need for outside employment while enrolled in course work or completing a thesis or dissertation.
We encourage our students to become their own scholars, finding their place in the larger study of communication processes and effects by working with multiple faculty across specializations and using multiple methods. We also have state-of-the-art facilities that allow for a broad range of research.
The School of Communication emphasizes the interconnectedness of various subfields in communication in our focus areas, including:
- Communication Technology & Society
- Health, Environment, Risk & Science Communication
- Media Uses & Effects
- Political Communication & Public Opinion
