hands-on workshops, theoretical richness, cross-cultural
pedagogies—and provides similar flexibility and
range to students seeking to establish careers in a wide
variety of international communications fields. |

core courses in global communications, global
cultures, global media, rhetoric, and globalization, as
well as in new methodologies for emerging fields,
branding, advertising, and cultural policy. |

In addition to these core courses, students choose from a series of professionally oriented,
hands-on practical courses leading to an extended
project, specialization through further course work, an
internship, or a substantial master’s thesis leading to
doctoral study. |
