Combining best practices with what research shows is effective communication gives our Master of Arts in Communication graduates a competitive advantage in the workplace. Students from anywhere can earn their MA in Communication on-ground or online. Those who live in the Washington metropolitan area can attend class on-ground at our Washington, DC center. Most classes take place on weekday evenings; a few occur on Saturday mornings. Our location is within walking distance from the Dupont Circle Metro stop, and reduced rate garage parking is available. In addition, anyone around the globe can go online. Some students take all of their courses online, others are on-ground during one semester and online during another semester, and others mix on-ground and online during the same semester. Admission and course requirements for online are the same as that for on-ground. Students do not have to attend any courses, workshops, seminars, or other events on-ground. Students access their online courses through Blackboard on the web 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
