Doctor of Philosophy in Communication - Science, Health, Risk, and Environment
關於課程
The Graduate Field of Communication embodies that legacy through persistent and proactive efforts to welcome and respect diverse perspectives and backgrounds so that our entire community can flourish. We strive for a culture that emboldens and empowers all, particularly those whose voices have historically been excluded or marginalized. We offer all admitted students a competitive financial support package that includes full tuition, health insurance, and a generous stipend for five years. Our median time to degree is five years, though many students complete their PhD in as few as four years. Our program is only offered in residence (no online option).
Researchers in this area are concerned with the role of communication in the areas of science, health, risk, and environmental sustainability. Our research leads to both new theoretical insights and more robust communication practice across the areas of science, health, risk, and environmental sustainability. It enables the development of strategic campaigns/messaging to promote healthy behavior and health policy, environmental sustainability action, public understanding of science, health interventions, and similar topics.
