The
Department of Communication at Georgia State University
is dedicated to quality educational programs at the graduate
and undergraduate level that inspire individuals to
become socially responsible citizens who understand communication
theory and deploy communication skills to improve
the human condition. Whether students study the relationship
between journalism and democratic citizenship, the ethical
problems associated with the practices of public relations,
or communication with the young and elderly at the undergraduate
level, social documentary production, political speech writing,
or gender and violence at the masters level, or national
identity construction, critical media theory, or international
media at the doctoral level, our faculty are dedicated to
teaching students about the crucial role communication processes
play in the quality of human life.
To
that end, the Department of Communications offers a Ph.D.
