Graduate students are advised by their faculty mentors. Each entering graduate student will be assigned a temporary advisor from the school's graduate faculty. In consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies and the temporary advisor, the first-year student should plan the initial program of study and determine who on the faculty can best serve as permanent academic advisor after the first year.
For general questions about graduate studies, students may contact the Director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Communication Studies:
