What will I learn?

You’ll start with foundational courses to explore how AI works and its impact. For example, you’ll learn how communication platforms like smartphones and social media have disrupted society, how to use AI ethically, and how computing systems are connected into a digital infrastructure. Then, you’ll take communication courses (including many electives) to study mass media, network effects, research methods, communication practices within organizations and other topics based on your interests. The program culminates with a capstone course involving a real-world challenge for you and your team to solve.
