Purpose

The School of Communication and the Arts offers graduate degrees in order to prepare artists, practitioners, and scholars in the practice and theory of the communication field as well as visual and performing arts.

Graduation Requirements

The faculty may change the requirements for the receipt of the degrees listed, as well as the courses offered, at any time. A student who does not break enrollment will be subject to the graduation requirements of the Catalog at the time of the student's enrollment.

Breaking Enrollment

For resident students, a break in enrollment occurs when the student fails to enroll in either the Fall or Spring semesters. For online students, a break in enrollment occurs when the student fails to enroll in at least one course during an academic year. The academic year begins with the start of the fall semester and ends with the conclusion of the summer term. Students who break enrollment must apply for readmission and will be subject to the requirements of the Catalog and degree requirements in effect at the time of their readmission.
