Overview

Applied Communication Theory and Methodology from Cleveland State University (CSU) is directed primarily toward the development of communication scholars and specialists, i.e., individuals who are able to apply communication theory and methodology to the analysis and solution of a variety of communication problems. The program emphasizes the ability to synthesize and interpret research in socially useful ways while also allowing for specialization in conducting research.

Features

The key words "applied theory and methodology" emphasize that students are expected to utilize their education in the pursuit of their individual career objectives. For most students this occurs when they conduct a master's thesis or alternative project.
