This course provides an integrative conception of the human communication discipline as well as an introduction to research, methodologies, and theory formulation and application. Students incorporate research skills that are vital to success in graduate training in communication. Prerequisite(s): Bachelor’s degree. MCOM 5023 - Interpersonal Communication Interpersonal Communication focuses on the messages and meanings created among people through human interaction. Messages can be verbal and/or nonverbal in nature. This graduate course provides an intensive examination of theories, methods of investigation, and current developments in the area of interpersonal communication. This survey course covers a broad range of topics studies by scholars interested in interpersonal communication. The primary focus of the course is the relational communication process and messages people use to define interpersonal relationships (e.g., dominance- submissiveness, affection, involvement and similarity in close relationships). MCOM 5033 - Intercultural Communication Intercultural Communication provides a comprehensive survey of the field of intercultural communication. Students study the broad and diverse conceptual domain of the field and its key subdomains, core issues, and key concepts. Recent theoretical and research developments are examined, as well as special methodological issues in conducting research involving individuals of differing cultural or subcultural backgrounds. MCOM 5413 - Techniques Of Forensic Photography This course explores the techniques used in obtaining and producing photographs used in investigation, evidence gathering and general photography used by law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, course content of the Communication and Religion course examines the communication in a variety of contexts associated with the dissemination of religion- based human messages: face to face, one to many, in print, as well as in mediated venues. Interpersonal communication theory is at the center of religious communication (e.g., theories clearly not addressed in humanities, philosophy, or sociology). Students in this upper division course think critically and synthesize theoretical information through analysis of religious communication. MCOM 5743 - Couples Communication Couples Communication brings about an understanding of the role of memory, communication, and social cognition in the development of romantic relationships. The course presents a cognitive approach to the development of romantic relationships and addresses many of the criticisms leveled against stage models by emphasizing the role of cognitive expectations about how relationships develop. MCOM 5753 - Intergenerational Communication Intergenerational Communication focuses on the role of communication in intergenerational interactions within various contexts (interpersonal, familial, health, mediated technologies, and workplace). Students design and conduct original research that builds upon current and emerging findings on intergenerational communication phenomena. MCOM 5763 - Communication & Reality TV Communication and Reality TV is a study of interpersonal communication theory as exhibited in reality television. Reality television offers a unique arena in which to study and analyze interpersonal relationships. Reality television shows cast relatively diverse groups with the intention of observing and documenting the resulting conflict or harmony. MCOM 5773 - Dark Side of Relationships The Dark Side of Relationships is a study of how individuals deal with the darker sides of interpersonal communication and close relationships. Topics will include but not be limited to: messages that hurt, fatal attraction, losing, leaving and letting go, relational transgressions, deception, jealousy and envy, and social predicaments. Students will be exposed to current research and topical trends in this area. Students will engage in the process of exploring interpersonal theory and research. Students will be given the opportunity to think, to evaluate, and to discuss aspects and concepts from current research. 239
