Graduate Students
In a typical year the School of Communication Studies has approximately 40 active, on-campus graduate students. Of those, approximately 32 are funded as graduate assistants in the school; the remaining students are either funded through other assistantships on campus or have fellowships. Our graduate students are a very bright and divers group of scholars who, in many ways, serve as a foundation for much of what we do in the school. We actively socialize and treat our graduate students as colleagues so that they feel prepared to enter tenure track jobs upon graduation.
Contact information for our graduate students is below. If you click on a students' name you will be able to view their personal profile page.
