Mass Communications

The growth of new communications technologies has created a need for lawyers with special training in the technological, marketing, and legal changes brought about by a wide spectrum of new media. Recognizing the dramatic impact of these changes, the School of Law and the Boston University College of Communication offer a unique program that allows students to acquire a law degree and a master's degree in mass communication, in only three-and-a-half years—one year less than if each degree were pursued separately.

Potential employment opportunities for graduates of the program include in-house counsel positions for communications technologies companies, service with government agencies concerned with communications law, and positions with private law firms having a communications law practice. The program also provides a solid grounding for future journalists who wish to report on legal affairs.
