Call for applications
M.A. in Communication Studies
Wilfrid Laurier University | Waterloo
Deadline: Jan. 15, 2017 (for first consideration)
The Department of Communication Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University welcomes applications to its M.A. program. The program offers a co-op option as well as critical engagement with core perspectives in communication studies and contemporary research methodologies and practices. Our interdisciplinary faculty members are established and emerging researchers in their areas of specialization, conducting research on topics such as mobile and social media, visual communication, media history, Internet studies, transnationalism, cultural policy, alternative media, and creative industries.
Students in the one-year, full-time program typically take three courses in the Fall and Winter terms and complete a Major Research Paper in the Spring/Summer. Students registered in the co-op program generally complete the co-op placement in the Spring/Summer term and the Major Research Paper the following Fall.
All applicants are considered for an entrance scholarship, and M.A. students are regularly employed as Teaching Assistants in undergraduate Communication Studies courses. Students also have the opportunity to work as Research Assistants to funded faculty members. Students who hold a major external award (e.g., SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship) are eligible for additional scholarship funding.
Based in a growing department, the M.A. Program in Communication Studies is offered at Laurier’s campus in Waterloo, Ontario, a university-oriented region with a thriving media technology sector.
Graduates have pursued doctoral studies and launched professional communication careers in a variety of private, public sector, and non-profit organizations.
