PITTSBURGH, April 20, 2022 – La Roche University’s new Master of Arts in Communication will prepare students to become experts in professional communication practices, media studies and social media.
Students will explore communication research techniques and apply them toward understanding the role communication plays in organizations, digital technology, media and interpersonal interactions.
The program will begin in Fall 2022. Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree in any undergraduate program and hold an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or better. Students can view a full list of application requirements and apply online.
The Master of Arts in Communication is the second new graduate program announced at La Roche this year. In January the University launched a Master of Arts in Teaching.
