Master of Arts in Communication
Our Program
The MA in Communication features two areas of concentration not available in most Communication graduate programs: Border/Latin American Media Studies and Organizational Communication in Transnational Settings. The first track prepares you to pursue doctoral studies or professional work in national/international organizations. The second, while preparing you to pursue doctoral studies, offers training in organizational communication related fields.

Why You Should Come Here
TAMIU’s location along the U.S.-México border provides an exceptional laboratory to explore the importance of mass, political and organizational communication in a region where two nations meet and where economic asymmetries and major cultural differences affect and transform human interaction. You will develop an understanding of the unique role language (Spanish and English) and culture play in shaping communication along an international border.
