As our field has developed over time, Purdue faculty and graduate students have been at the forefront leading those advancements in discovery, learning, and engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n Our award-winning\u00a0faculty<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>are some of the top scholars in our field and have made major theoretical, methodological and applied contributions to the study of Communication. Our faculty consists of some of the most prolific scholars in the field. Indeed, the\u00a0Chronicle of Higher Education’s<\/em> “Top Research University Faculty Scholar Productivity Index” for 2007 placed Purdue at No. 2 in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our graduate students are award-winning as well and have received national and international recognition for their research and teaching. Many of our graduate students have solo-authored or collaborative publications and are actively involved in individual research projects or research teams. Our graduate students have also received university and national recognition for excellence in teaching. They work with faculty as teaching assistants and teach courses on their own. Many of our graduate students also work on grant-funded research with faculty.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, our\u00a0Communication Graduate Student Association (CGSA) organizes professional development opportunities and social activities for our school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our graduate program is organized along six instructional units:<\/span><\/p>\n We also offer an\u00a0online Master’s of Science in Communication.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Purdue graduate students can earn either a thesis or non-thesis Master’s degree or a Doctoral degree with the opportunity to develop their own major and minor area(s) of study. Each degree program consists of certain requirements, yet at the same time, our graduate students have tremendous flexibility in designing a plan of study that meets their interests.<\/span><\/p>\n Another strength of our graduate program is its diversity. Our graduate student community consists of individuals from around the globe. Our community members\u2019 diversity contributes to the diversity of thought that you will find in our program. In addition, our faculty and graduate students embrace diverse approaches to research.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This is an exciting time to be a member of the Lamb School of Communication at Purdue. I invite you to continue to explore our website and learn more about our graduate program. I also encourage you to get in touch with me at\u00a0gradcom@purdue.edu<\/a><\/span>, to learn more about opportunities for graduate studies in Communication at Purdue. We look forward to hearing from you.<\/span><\/p>\n With very best wishes,<\/span><\/p>\n Evan K. Perrault, Ph.D.<\/strong><\/span>
