The NKU Master of Arts in Communication offers students the opportunity to advance in the application of communication and critical thinking. Coursework and student experiences include analyzing and evaluating the impact of communication on society, in the workplace, and in personal relationships, as well as engaging in basic and applied research, evaluating various forms of discourse, and developing the ability to manage communication across various contexts.

My biggest take away from the program is the ideology of applying the knowledge gathered from undergraduate studies by conducting research, analyzing theories, and engaging in interpersonal relationships that tie-in with my career path.
Rundle chose to pursue his masters at NKU because of the demographics of the students in the communication program. Pursuing his masters became a goal for him after several people told him he could not make it through college.
