About the course

This specialization focuses on the study of how the communicative practices of relating in everyday life construct, shape, sustain, and change who we are as individuals and the quality of our lives as social beings. The program is centered on theory complemented by a multi-method commitment to both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Coursework in this area concentrates on the study of relationships—those familial, personal, social, and workplace bonds of which everyday life is comprised.

　　The goal of the program is to produce scholars who possess sophisticated knowledge of theory and methodology, who are careful consumers of theories and methods, and who can develop their own approaches to communication phenomena. The program emphasizes systematic analysis of the forms, functions, and meanings of messages within various contexts. Its broad social-scientific orientation springs from the belief that many methodological approaches are appropriate for studying and building theoretical explanations of communication.
