University of Louisiana at Monroe | Monroe
The Communication Program at the University of Louisiana Monroe is undergoing positive change and while it currently offers a B.A. with three concentrations and a M.A. in Communication, it will soon have only two undergraduate concentrations, one in Media & Communication and the other in Communication Studies, and a M.A. with a Strategic Communication focus.
