LSC offers two M.S. degree options, the thesis-track M.S. and the professional studies track M.S. Both tracks provide students with a foundation in communication theory and research methods in addition to the flexibility to create a customized curriculum based on the student’s interests and career goals. Students in LSC take courses within our department and select elective courses from across campus based on their academic and career goals such as environmental studies, statistics, political science, educational psychology, etc.
The thesis-based Master’s degree requires 24 course credits plus a thesis based on original research (6 credits). The professional studies M.S. is a course-based master’s degree (30 credits total) designed to prepare students for professional careers in life sciences communication and related fields. Students in this track will usually not pursue a Ph.D. program in the future. In fact, many graduate programs (including LSC) do not accept a non-thesis master’s as a criterion for admission to their Ph.D. program.
