Interested in Communication and Media Studies? Ready to find your next academic home? We are excited to introduce you to the MA and PhD programs we offer here at Carleton University!
COMS Research at Carleton
Our graduate programs will help you make sense of the role of communication and media in everyday life.
The research we do at Carleton challenges the boundaries of communication studies by building on intellectual traditions from a broad range of disciplines. We are committed to interdisciplinarity. Our faculty and graduate students come to us from communication and media studies programs but also disciplines like sociology, political science, literary studies, geography, art history, and human computer interaction.
Faculty and students are involved in several hubs of research activity including:
- ALiGN Media Lab
- RoCCET Lab and Comic Cons Research Project
- Canadian Media Concentration Research Project
- North American Cultural Diplomacy Initiative
- Populist Publics
- Transgender Media Lab
As a graduate student, we will help you hone your interests, formulate compelling research questions, and push you to find answers and develop arguments.
