Your next chapter starts here.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you’re coming straight from undergrad, ready to deepen your expertise before launching your career. Maybe you’ve been working and you’re ready for more–more strategy, more specialized knowledge, more opportunities to lead. Either way, you’re here because you’re ready for what’s next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s exactly what graduate study at Boston University’s College of Communication (COM) is for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At COM, you don’t just study communication–you practice it. From your first day, you’ll work alongside faculty who are actively shaping their fields. And you’ll do it in Boston, one of the country’s leading hubs for media, technology, business, healthcare, and innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever brought you here, there’s a COM graduate program designed for where you want to go next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever your path, every program shares the same philosophy: the best way to prepare for your career is to start doing the work before you graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experiential learning by design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A COM degree is designed to be put to work, not filed away. Long before graduation, you’ll be building your r\u00e9sum\u00e9, expanding your professional network, and creating a portfolio shaped by real projects, published stories, original productions, research, and hands-on experience. Our faculty are industry leaders, researchers, journalists, filmmakers, strategists, and entrepreneurs who teach the way the field actually operates because they’re still shaping it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning at COM extends far beyond the classroom door: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
