Graduate Field of Communication

Approach communication as a broad and fundamentally social phenomenon

Drawing from the resources of outstanding scholars in the social sciences, natural sciences and humanities at Cornell University, our students find new ways to investigate how communication shapes and is shaped by our society and cognition. The graduate program in Communication is geared toward training and mentoring the next generation of Communication scholars.

Students, all of whom are financially supported, have the opportunity to work closely with top faculty on cutting-edge research, take courses with world-class scholars in the Field and across campus, and actively participate in a diverse community of innovators and ideas. Our graduates have gone on to faculty positions at top universities and jobs at the forefront of industry research.
