In a constantly changing world with new mediums for communication, it’s critical for professionals to be adaptive to the latest communication strategies. Georgia Southern University is continuing to lead the country in this digital transformation by expanding its Master of Arts (M.A.) program in Professional Communication and Leadership to online platforms.
The Master of Professional Communication and Leadership is designed to further professional development. It accomplishes this through coursework in written and verbal communications skills, critical thinking, and leadership.
The program is directed toward both traditional and nontraditional students who are either already in the workforce or are making the transition from an undergraduate degree to a professional setting.
“If you’re already in a career and perhaps it’s too far to commute, this allows you to get an advanced degree, and then apply for that next step in whatever field you’re in,” said Pamela Sears, Communication Arts interim chair. “It’s beneficial to a great number of different industries.”
Previously, the program was a hybrid consisting of online and in-person courses. The addition of a fully online curriculum opens the door to an expanded student population.
