Overview
Strategic Communication offered by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania offers part-time classes for working professionals, while our full-time schedule can be completed in as few as 14 months. Students can specialize in either our Applied or Research tracks.
Students focus on applying their production and writing skills to internships or their current job. In addition to the internship, the Applied track also requires students to take Advanced Strategic Communication Writing and Production. The Research track involves industry-related research that is perfect preparation for a future doctoral degree. This track requires a thesis and completion of Research Development in Strategic Communication.
Not only do communication professionals with a master's degree typically earn more than those with just a bachelor's degree, but IUP's MS program teaches the skills needed to land a successful job in the industry. As part of a cohort, you'll have the opportunity to network and study with other interested students.
