Areas of Academic Strength
The Bellisario College's graduate program emphasizes the following seven areas of academic strength around which graduate students and their committees may wish to organize the selection of courses and program plans:
- Critical and Cultural Media Studies
- International, Global and Development Communications
- History, Law, Government and Politics
- Media Effects
- Science, Health and Environmental Media
- Strategic Communications
- Telecommunications, Technology and Information Policy
These are not formal options and do not have required courses or dedicated faculty. Rather they represent areas of scholarly expertise of the College's graduate faculty. Graduate students may—and are encouraged to—integrate coursework across more than one of these areas.
