Culminating Experience

The program culminates in either a thesis or a capstone class.  These are opportunities for you to synthesize all that you have learned into a communication project for a client or conduct research on a particular dimension of communication management.

A thesis option is provided for those students who may wish to further their educational studies through a PhD in communication.

For the client-based communication project, you may choose to write a crisis communication plan, develop a publication or intranet program, conduct a comprehensive communication audit, or create a communication plan for change management.
