Master‵s Program in Communication , NCCU

The Master's Program in Communication is committed to cultivating communication professionals equipped with academic expertise, humanistic values, multicultural awareness, and a global perspective. As communication technologies, media environments, and professional practices continue to evolve, the program prepares students to adapt to emerging challenges while contributing to the advancement of communication knowledge and practice.

Recognizing that the boundaries of communication are constantly changing, the program encourages students to explore diverse career possibilities rather than follow a single predetermined path. Through interdisciplinary learning and intellectual exploration, students are empowered to develop their own professional identities and respond creatively to an increasingly complex communication landscape.

To achieve these goals, the program emphasizes the development of five core competencies:

• Knowledge Integration – the ability to identify important social issues, analyze information critically, and construct meaningful insights.
• Innovation – the ability to recognize emerging trends, integrate resources, and transform ideas into creative solutions.
• Information Literacy – the ability to collect, evaluate, manage, and communicate information through diverse media platforms.
• Leadership and Collaboration – the ability to work effectively within organizations, build consensus, and facilitate collective action.
• Professional Ethics – the ability to understand and reflect upon ethical responsibilities, professional standards, and social accountability.
