The general goal of the Master’s Program is to develop communicators who are theoretically informed and technically competent in research on communication, media technologies, and society.

The specific objectives of the program are the following:

Provide the student with varied theoretical frameworks and historical foundations that assess the interrelationships between communicative processes, media technologies, and societal dynamics, with emphasis on the conditions and experiences prevalent in developing country contexts.
Equip the student with conceptually-driven production skills that are geared towards creative and integrative use of communicative technologies and that are attuned to diverse societal conditions.
Enable the students to conceptualize, implement, and disseminate research that contribute to scholarship on communication, media technologies, and society, especially about the Philippines and the global South more broadly.
