University of Central Oklahoma Program: Major: Human Communication Human Communication Major Code: 5670 Degree: Master of Arts (M.A.) Department: Mass Communication College: Liberal Arts Graduate Director: Dr. Steven Pratt E-Mail Address: spratt@uco.edu Office Address: COM 207 H Phone Number: 405-974-5585 Human Communication, M.A. The Master of Arts in Human Communication provides an avenue for academic research and professional enhancement by engaging students in advanced and contemporary communication theory. Through consultation with their primary professor, students will develop a specific academic focus appropriate to their interests and goals. Students who wish to pursue a doctoral degree are better prepared by expanding upon the knowledge base obtained in their baccalaureate program, thus enabling them to develop research skills necessary to earn a doctorate. Students who wish to enhance their professional consulting expertise may specialize in areas such as conflict management, relational dynamics, family communication, ministry, interpersonal communication training, intercultural/global competencies, and mediation. Students are required to complete thirty hours of course work and six thesis hours. Twelve of these hours are required Mass Communication courses with the remaining eighteen hours as electives (electives must be approved by the director). Students do have the option of completing up to twelve hours outside the Mass Communication Department. Course work completed outside the department generally should result in a minor concentration in an area that will complement Human Communication studies such as sociology, psychology, education, English, or business.
