| The Graduate Program in the School of Communication offers an exciting and dynamic environment in which to study. We draw our student population from around the world, a fact that testifies to both the importance of advanced research in communication studies and to the international reputation Simon Fraser University enjoys in the field of communication. The Graduate Program boasts of an energetic and enthusiastic faculty dedicated to the development of global citizens who will put their education to work in progressive, meaningful causes. The School is committed to providing a varied and relevant curriculum; diligent mentorship and supervision; and myriad opportunities for dialogue, the sharing of research interests, and professional development. Students applying to our M.A. or Ph.D. programs are expected to have a broad knowledge of theory, some background in research and also some experience in their selected area of interest. They are expected to meet all General Requirements as described in the Graduate Section of the University Calendar. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
For admission to the PhD program, the applicant is expected to have or be near the completion of a Master’s degree in a relevant discipline from a recognized university, hold a GPA of 3.5 or higher, and provide evidence of a capability of doing advanced graduate level research. As with applicants, the emphasis is less on the specific discipline one carries the degree in, and more on the relevance of the proposed work to the field of communication. |
