PhD
The PhD program in Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design (RCID) features a transdisciplinary curriculum developed by faculty from Art, Communication Studies, English, Philosophy, Languages as well as other units in the College of AAH. The program provides a solid foundation in theory in addition to extensive training in research and practice. RCID is an academic-professional degree, preparing students to conduct research and to disseminate their findings through teaching in the university and through publishing in professional and popular journals.
Most RCID students are interested in entering into academia. However, the RCID program also prepares students, through research, to be consultants for and to work within industry, government, and nonprofit organizations. Students interested in pursuing a PhD in RCID must have a master’s degree in English, Communication Studies, Media, Art or other related field.
