Most Creative Mass Communication Grad School Program in Miami

When it comes to finding the right master’s program to earn your creative writing degree while living in Miami, the options aren’t as plentiful as you might think. However, just because there is a vast array of options doesn’t mean that the curriculum entails everything you need, or want. It is up to you to conduct a thorough assessment of the universities that will offer you a quality education.

How Florida International University Can Help 

Florida International University (FIU) understands how challenging it can be to find a creative master’s program that actively prepares you for the communications industry. That is why we’ve come up with a unique opportunity for creative professionals who want to earn a master’s degree in a subject that they’re passionate about.

FIU’s Journalism & Mass Communication Master’s of Science Degree

FIU has composed a stellar masters program designed for creative professionals who want to gain first-hand knowledge about advertising, Internet marketing, and how it fits into the world of journalism and communication technology as a whole. Students enrolled in this graduate program will have the opportunity to work in conjunction with Miami Ad School, an educational institution that gives their students hands on training in the knowledge of digital design, social media, copywriting, digital photography and video.

Get Real Life Experience Working for Miami Agencies

While you’ll be able to build your creative portfolio working alongside Miami Ad School, FIU graduates students will also have the opportunity to be mentored by a Miami Internet technology company that provides consultation and training services for medium and large-sized businesses.

What This Creative Master’s Degree Entails

The Master’s of Science Degree in Mass Communication’s Global Strategic Communication – Creative Track consist of 39 credit hours that will be completed in 5 semesters, including one summer. This is an intensive study track that requires the student’s complete dedication. While most graduate degree programs offers flexibility, this particular one does not. Here’s why:

All of the courses in this unique degree program are pre-selected for the students, and since the schedules are already selected by the university’s cohorts, students will not have the option to change schedules. Since the degree program is a hybrid of classroom lectures and real world assignments, FIU strongly recommends students to avoid taking on a part-time job if at all possible, even if it’s related to the industry you’re interested in.

Where These Courses are Offered?

FIU graduate students will take 7 courses at FIU’s Biscayne Bay campus, and then 6 courses at the Miami Ad School located in Wynwood. As a result, students will need to have reliable transportation.

While you will be working to earn your master’s degree from FIU, it’s important for applicants to know that they must apply to both FIU and Miami Ad School. So, two applications are required in order to enroll in this degree program. You must also have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and earned a bachelor’s degree from a 4-year college.
