The school of communication at Kennesaw State is offering a new dual master’s degree program to students.
The two degrees included in the program are a master’s in public administration and a Master of Arts in integrated global communication. The degrees are geared toward students interested in pursuing careers as a communications professional in government and the nonprofit sector but are not limited to those individuals.
“What’s cool is that normally in two years you get one degree,” said Dr. Josh Azriel, the integrated global communication program director. “But, if you stay one more year, you can earn two degrees.”
Requirements for admission to the program include:
- A bachelor’s degree
- A minimum 2.75 GPA
- A current résumé
- Two letters of recommendation from faculty or work supervisors
- Standardized graduate admissions exam scores
- A 1,000-word statement of purpose essay to answer, “In what way do you expect the Master of Public Administration – Master of Arts in Integrated Global Communication dual degree to affect or enhance your career goals and aspirations?”
The dual degree consists of 54 total credit hours — 24 hours for public administration, 24 hours for integrated global communication and six hours of electives.
