Our Students
Our students come to the program with diverse interests and backgrounds. Some already have experience working in the field of communications, while others have worked in nonprofits, engineering and design, or journalism and media.
Still others arrive straight from their undergraduate university eager to take their knowledge of communications to the next level. These vast and varied experiences allow students to build a solid professional network that will continue to benefit them long after graduation.

Ethnicity
We have a diverse program that respects multiple perspectives and voices in the classroom. Of the students who have graduated with the MA in Professional Communication degree since 2016, 54% of those students identify as Black, Indigenous, or Persons of Color (BIPOC). If multiracial students are included, then 62% of MAPC graduates identify as something other than Caucasian.

With the world becoming more connected through technology and information, having someone think strategically and make sense of all the information is key. MAPC not only supports you through class instruction but also connects you with professionals in the field through guest speakers and internships.”
