Capstone
This master's degree helps future professionals to learn theories of communication and looks at the messaging process holistically, emphasizing the importance of consistency when managing branding campaigns. Our students will be empowered to be better professionals through a thorough understanding of communication channels, feedback loops, and public relations principles, and will be able to practice via capstone projects that enable them to build an integrated branding campaign.
The program will merge theory and practice. Full-time faculty who are leaders in communications and public relations will be paired with adjuncts who work in advertising and media, and will create the connections to industry partners who will serve as case studies sources or as “customer interfaces” for the capstone experiences.
