Seeking Applications for Doctoral Student Fellows, School of Communication at American University, Washington, DC<br>
<br>
American University invites applications for five fully funded students in a new PhD Program in Communication. The program launches in Fall 2011, and is dedicated to educating the next generation of communication scholars and expert professionals. All students
admitted as part of this inaugural class will receive full tuition remission of up to 18 credits per year, as well as a generous living stipend.<br>
The PhD program in Communication fosters scholarship that builds new theory and knowledge, and enhances the ability of institutions, social groups, and professionals to apply that knowledge to undertake salient political and social challenges. Courses cover
a wide spectrum of issues - addressing the cultural, technological, economic, and policy forces shaping the media system, and emphasizing the role of new media in civil society and democracy, a theme consistent with the core public service mission of American
University. Students work closely with a faculty advisor to create an individualized program of electives. This interdisciplinary degree includes communication classes, as well as courses from other units on campus, organized around the student's choice
of one of the following thematic concentrations: Media, Public Issues, and Engagement; Media Industries and Institutions; and Media, Technology, and Culture. The innovative design of this accelerated program enabl!<br>
es students who enter with a research-focused master's degree to complete the PhD in three years.<br>
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all five positions are filled. Learn more at <a href="http://www.american.edu/soc/phd" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">http://www.american.edu/soc/<wbr>phd</a></span>
