About the course

The Ph.D. program is designed to balance the need for a broad foundation in communication scholarship with the need to specialize in a field of interest for the dissertation. Program requirements facilitate the achievement of these two goals, but the primary responsibility for program development lies with the graduate student and his or her supervisory committee. The program provides the student and his or her committee with the flexibility necessary to tailor the program to the student?s needs and interests. Scholarship on social interaction focuses on the language and nonverbal processes through which people connect with one another. Courses in this area concentration examine the development of personal relationships, the role of communication in social influence, the processes of group deliberation, and other communication activities as they occur in face-to-face and on-line settings. Courses explore how communication shapes and reflects initial encounters, informal conversations, interpersonal conflicts, relationships, and decision making. They also reflect on the nature of social interaction as a theoretical, ethical, and cultural practice. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
