The Graduate Specialization in Media and Information Studies, which is administered by the College of Communication Arts and Sciences, provides students the opportunity to pursue advanced studies leading to a teaching or professional research career in the fields of advertising, journalism, public relations or telecommunication, information studies and media.
The graduate specialization is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in master’s or doctoral degree programs at Michigan State University. With the approval of the department and college that administers the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the graduate specialization may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the master’s or doctoral degree.
Students who plan to complete the requirements for the graduate specialization should consult the graduate advisor for the specialization in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences. Students will apply to the specialization in writing and provide a plan of study form prior to admission to the specialization.
