Mass Communications - Kansas State University

Mass Communications from Kansas State University is a Campus Master Media Studies degree that prepares you for a Communications career. The A. Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications offers a 30-hour Master of Science degree in Mass Communications. The program requires a core of Mass Communication Theory and Research classes with flexibility for students to devise specialized scholarly or professional degrees by taking courses from one or more of the school's three sequences (advertising, journalism and public relations) or graduate-level electives from other academic units within the university. For students who want to gain media experience while attending graduate school, the university provides several hands-on opportunities to work for student-run media including: the Collegian newspaper, its web counterpart (eCollegian), the Royal Purple Yearbook, the Wildcat 91.9 FM radio station and the Education Communications Center, a television production center. The assessment plan endorsed by the School's graduate faculty in October 2004 established four primary student learning outcomes that were believed to be important for students seeking advanced degrees in mass communications areas regardless of student and/or instructional specialization across a wide range of advanced study interest areas. These four student learning outcomes (SLOs) are: understand and apply First Amendment principles and the law appropriate to professional practice; demonstrate an understanding of the history and role of professionals and institutions in shaping communications; conduct research and evaluate information by methods appropriate to the communications professions in which they work; and write correctly and clearly in forms and styles appropriate for the communications professions, audiences and purposes they serve.
