Master of Arts in Communication and Rhetorical Studies - Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies

Syracuse University

The master of arts (M.A.) in communication and rhetorical studies (CRS) provides a vibrant and dynamic environment for students hoping to pursue further study in communication studies. Our program has a strong academic research focus and is ideal if you plan to go on to pursue doctoral-level education. This area uses a variety of critical, feminist, postmodern and postcolonial perspectives to examine the relationship between communication and questions of power, equality and social advocacy. Courses and research projects examine such specific topics as disparities in political representation, personal identity and difference, non-hierarchical organizing processes, alternative forms of public dialogue, community activism and organizing and other social justice issues.
