The Ph.D. program in Communications Media and Instructional Technology prepares individuals to produce new media, impact culture in a positive way, and generate research driven by existing theory and scholarship within the field of communications media and instructional technology.
The program’s curriculum is similar to many Ph.D. programs across the country that offer coursework in communication theory, cultural seminars, and rigorous training in quantitative and qualitative research. It is the added emphasis and expertise within IUP’s Communications Media Department in media production that differentiates and enhances the program, going beyond the study of media impact to the generation of research and production of new media.
