Overview

The Mass Communication program at University of Arkansas at Little Rock offers a Media Research option that prepares students to analyze and conduct scholarly research in mass communication, and how to write and present the results of such research to both scholarly and non-scholarly audiences.

Key Features

The program also offers a Professional Mass Media option that provides students with advanced professional training in Multiplatform Journalism or Strategic Communication/Public Relations. Students will either write a Master’s Thesis or create a Professional Project as capstone experience.
