Northern Arizona University College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Applied Communication, M.A. PO Box 5619 Flagstaff, AZ 86011-5619 US   Phone: 1-928-523-2232   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.A.-Applied Communication On Campus   The Master of Arts in Applied Communication is managed by the Speech Communication program at Northern Arizona University. The program is in its fourth year, and currently enrolls 50 students both on campus and via distance education. The MA in Applied Communication and the Speech Communication program are housed in the School of Communication, a unit within the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Northern Arizona University. The study of communication is vital for societies becoming more complex in their daily functions; for institutions, groups, and individuals confronting the challenges of human diversity and technologically-mediated social and political relationships; and for a world that is increasingly interdependent and threatened by environmental change. Finding solutions to problems that confront business, government, schools, families, and social relationships can emerge from the careful study of how people communicate with each other. No matter what profession one holds, no matter what service a person provides to his/her community, no matter what an individual or group values in life, a broad understanding of the theory and practice of communication can be of importance. Goals of the Program The faculty at NAU believe that the Master of Arts in Applied Communication will provide students with advanced skills in analysis, problem-solving, critical thinking, research, writing, and oral communication which can enhance the student’s contributions to and success in Arizona’s technologically sophisticated, information-based, and dynamic economy. The MA in Applied Communication degree program seeks interested persons who hold a bachelor’s degree and desire a master’s degree that centers upon integrating knowledge in the field of communication with emphasis on organizations, technology, diversity, and/or environmental issues.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees If you have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting association, you are eligible to apply for admission to NAU as a graduate student.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 1941  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 3967  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $570  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $13862  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
