Apologies for the additional posting! The following has a corrected deadline of January 15, 2021: University of Illinois at Chicago MA PhD Programs Invite Applicants for Spring and Fall of 2021 The Department of Communication at University of Illinois at Chicago is currently accepting Spring and Fall 2021 applicants for M.A. and Ph.D. programs. The deadline is Jan. 15, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the GRE requirement will be waived for UIC COMMUNICATION (MA) and (PhD) degree program applicants for Fall 2021 applications. Our Master's Program has two general concentrations: * Media studies covers areas ranging from journalism ethics to electronic media and computer-mediated communication. * Intercultural diversity covers areas such as language and symbolic representation, critical theory, social inequality and racism, and cross-cultural differences Our PhD Program focuses on communication and technology with emphasis on politics, health, interpersonal relations, culture, history, policy, gaming, and mobile media. A signature feature of our Department programs is their flexibility. Students pursue individual aims with advice from an adviser, designing a course of study to reach their own educational goals. Because the Department strongly encourages interdisciplinary work, students may study with scholars in communication and allied disciplines. Interdepartmental concentrations are available in Electronic Security and Privacy <http://securityigert.uic.edu/>, Gender and Women's Studies <https://gws.uic.edu/>, Survey Research Methodology <http://www.srl.uic.edu/gcsrm.htm>, and in Latin American and Latino Studies <https://lals.uic.edu/>.
