The University of Miami School of Communication is well-established, founded in the fundamental values of freedom of speech, press, and belief, and is dedicated to a “hands-on/early-on” learning experience within a globally diverse context.

PhD in Research and Action for Positive Change

The doctoral program in the School of Communication prepares for careers in higher education, non-profits, and business. You may choose from health, environmental, international, intercultural, and organizational communication as well as from journalism studies and media development.  

You will engage with communication theory, research, and practice using public relations and journalism, with particular attention to new and social media for social and behavioral change. This will be your niche: conducting research, engaging in an immersive experience, and translating these into evaluation-based practice for the well-being of the community, society, and the world. 

The School’s Knight Center for International Media, whose mission is communication for positive change in global and local communities, will be your research hub.
