Fully Funded PhD Programs in Communications

Last updated July 22, 2022

Next in my series on  How To Fully Fund Your PhD , I provide a list below of universities that offer full funding to all students admitted to their PhD programs in communications.  

In the ProFellow database , we list several competitive fellowships for graduate and doctoral study. However, to be successful in fully funding your studies I recommend seeking out Ph.D. programs that offer full funding to all admitted students. When a university indicates that they provide full funding to their Ph.D. students, in most cases this means they provide each admitted doctoral student full tuition and a stipend for living expenses for the four to six-year duration of the student’s doctoral studies. Not all universities provide full funding to their doctoral students, so be sure to research the financial aid offerings of all the potential Ph.D. programs in your academic field, including small and lesser-known schools both in the U.S. and abroad.

March esteemed fellows dinner in san francisco, 14 thoughts on “fully funded phd programs in communications”.

Thank you for this post! I was wondering how to get my MA in communication funded and I stumbled across this. So encouraging 🙂

Glad this is helpful! It is generally easier to get university funding for a PhD than a stand-alone MA, so that is something to consider when you are planning to continue your education.

Hi. why do most American universities require English proficiency certification yet some countries in Africa use the English language for their O-level examinations? English is a compulsory subject for the entire 8-4-4 programme in countries like Kenya and all exams and classroom instructions are carried out in English.

Dear Sir/ Ma’am,

Myself Lokesh Vachheta.

I’m from India and would like to pursue Phd in Communication as a distance course.

Please advice me with more information and procedure to begin with.

I would look forward for your earliest revert.

Hi Lokesh, unfortunately I am not aware of any funded distance programs in Communications, but if I come across one, I will post it here.

I am looking for a university which assists with a full scholarship which includes air ticket from my my country Zimbabwe. My preferred area of study is media, journalism or communication. I hold a masters degree in journalism and media studies.

Encouraging,

I have to surely pursue a Ph.D in communications from U.S. But was unsure of the fully-funded opportunities. I came across such opportunities in Singapore as well. With a six-year experience in journalism and communication and a masters in business management, do you think, I can make it to Columbia or Steinhardt?

Hi. My husband has done BSc in electronics and communication. Now, he want to apply for a PHD program through funding in Germany. Where can we get total funding and help. Thanks.

I have done my Master in Journalism and Mass Communication under Utkal University , Bhubaneswar, India. I want to apply for a PHD programme Through funding in Germany or USA. Looking for total or partial funding. Please suggest. Thanks.

It is stated that i am a female journalist from Pakistan and have been working in the field of journalism for the past fifteen years. Now i want to enhance my professional skills and expertise and intend to do Ph.D in journalism from this prestigious university. I have been working on Malala Yousaf Zai’s representation in Pakistani English print media and want to extend this work in a doctorate research project but this desire is now hampered by my limited financial resources. My work on the way Malala Yousaf Zai’s struggle has been perceived and portrayed in Pakistani English print media will prove quite beneficial in the understanding and challenging of the ways gender discrimination works in Pakistani society. It will pave the way for the understanding of the ways in which a more moderate environment with regard to girls education and empowerment in a conservative society can be built and sustained. To achieve this very purpose, i need financial assistance to secure admission in Ph.D programme. My limited resources do not allow me to contribute for the betterment of my society. It is hence humbly requested that kindly provide me with financial assistance so that this dream of mine may be fulfilled. Looking forward to positive and considerate response.

The University of Southern Mississippi offers assistantships at both the MA and doctoral level. Communication Studies fellowships covers tuition, provides health insurance, and offers a competitive salary.

Admission applications can be completed online at the university’s website: http://apps.usm.edu/graduate-school/grad-school-apps/?utm_source=top-nav&utm_medium=web&utm_content=grad-apply&utm_campaign=admissions

At the Intersection of Media, Technology, and Democracy

The AU School of Communication's Doctor of Philosophy in Communication allows you to research at the intersection of media, technology, and democracy. We study how media and technology interact with democratic culture and politics. Communication creates culture; communication is a vector of power; communication is central to democratic action. Our normative orientation toward a healthier democratic process is a theme consistent with the core public service mission of American University. Internet governance, podcasts as news sources, disinformation on Twitter, digital surveillance, facial recognition and power, racism on social media, and state social-media propaganda are all topics of recent dissertations.

Our focus is at the cutting edge of the field of communication studies today, and our students routinely present at our leading conferences. Our approach is also interdisciplinary, and we benefit from the diverse intellectual resources across American University, such as those showcased at the Internet Governance Lab , the AU Game Center ,  the Center for Media & Social Impact , the Center for Latino and Latin American Studies , and the Institute on Disability and Public Policy (IDPP) . We also tap into our relationships with NGOs, media companies, foundations, and government institutions throughout the Washington metro area. 

In our doctoral program, you'll produce scholarship, using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, that has real-world connection and impact . Your work will position you well to pick from career options that range from the professoriate to public policy research to media production to government. 

This is a three-year PhD, and from the moment you arrive, you will be working in a highly-structured program toward your dissertation research, building your networks, and developing publishable projects. You will join us in using knowledge to address our most pressing political and social challenge s . We welcome your application to become a part of the next generation of communication scholars, professors, leaders, and practitioners.

Course Progression

Complete your degree in three years.

In contrast to the traditional 9-month-per-year schedule, your annual course of study takes place over 11 months, including faculty supervision and mentoring via formal course work, organized research group meetings, and online collaboration. The  accelerated structure  of your program allows you to complete your degree in three years.

You'll take six required courses, three each in the fall and spring semester. Depending on your past master's coursework and professional experience, you may be able to petition for credit for methods and/or statistics course work, substituting an advanced methods course or other elective. The required teaching seminar prepares you to work as a teaching assistant in an undergraduate course during your second year of coursework. Students who have prior college teaching experience or who have already taken a similar teaching seminar as part of their master's program can place out of this course, substituting an additional elective. In the summer immediately following your first year, you'll enroll in one course for credit and participate in research group meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should apply to the phd in communication program.

Applicants could be interested in tenure track, faculty positions in academia, or seeking careers at prestigious institutions in government, industry, and/or the nonprofit community.

How can the PhD program help strengthen my pedagogical skills?

In addition to the teaching seminars and teaching assistantships that are part of the regular doctoral curriculum, The Art of Teaching is a one-credit course offered each spring semester for PhD students who want to learn more about educational pedagogy.

PhD students can participate at any time during their PhD program. There is no tuition fee for the course.

What are areas of faculty expertise?

Our program is focused on impactful research at the intersection of media, technology, and democracy. Our faculty and students study how media messages and communication technologies shape, and are shaped by, social and governmental processes.

PhD in Communication

We are an international, interdisciplinary, boundary-spanning graduate program with a vision of social justice.

The emergence of communication as a multifaceted social science discipline is connected to both the search for new perspectives on contemporary problems and the profusion of technologies of communication.

Those varied processes and contexts constitute the core of our work, with opportunities to pursue communication theory and research in the following areas:

• Film studies
• Media effects and popular culture
• Media, technology, and society
• Rhetoric and performance studies
• Social interaction and culture

Our doctoral program is known for its:

• R1-level research productivity
• Interdisciplinary, boundary-spanning scholarship
• Social justice perspective 
• Comparative and international focus

Application information & deadlines

Communications Scholarships

The study of communications at the college level involves analyzing the ways in which knowledge, thoughts and ideas are processed and shared in our modern society. If you are pursuing this major you should possess good listening skills and enjoy public speaking. If so, continue reading to explore the world of communications scholarships.

Examples of courses typically found in this major include media criticism, rhetoric, media and society, intercultural communication, introduction to digital media and public speaking. Many programs will expect you to choose a concentration for your studies. These can include topics such as journalism, film studies, new media or public relations. It is also common for communications programs to feature an internship requirement. Here you will receive course credit for working at a radio station, marketing firm or other media concern. Not only will this provide you with real life working experience, you'll also most likely make important professional contacts.

This is a popular major that is offered at many colleges and universities. Finding the program that is right for you will depend on your educational and vocational goals and expectations. Some academic programs will be geared more to journalism while other programs will stress the role of communications in the business world. Be certain to research your programs carefully. Find out as much as you can about the faculty, what they've published and what are their areas of expertise. Also, find out what the communications labs are like and how much exposure you'll receive with the technological tools you'll be using professionally.

Employment prospects for this major will depend largely on your interests. Owing to the encroachment of the Internet on traditional print media, advertising revenues are down and so is circulation. At the same time, there are increasing opportunities with digital communication and media. Also, there are plenty of career opportunities in the world of marketing and advertising as well as public relations. Here as well, experience with digital media may help you to stand out in a competitive field.

Communication - PhD

The School of Communication, Film, and Media Studies at the University of Cincinnati now offers a PhD program in Communication with an emphasis on social justice issues and communication solutions.

This is a funded, four-year, full-time program that results in a doctorate in Communication. Students will receive academic training in various approaches to communication and will have the chance to make connections with social justice issues and organizations through built-in research externship experiences. Application to the program opens fall 2022. 

Our vision is to create a community of scholars dedicated to the study and practice of communication. We are deeply concerned with issues of social justice in our local community and believe these issues have many global applications. Whether it be in health, interpersonal, mediated, organizational, or public relations contexts, we seek to train the next generation to be better scholars, change agents, and advocates for a just world.

Why Communication and Social Justice at UC?

We recognize the central role that communication plays in our understanding of social justice issues (e.g., race, gender, health, environment, globalization-related, etc.) and in finding solutions to those issues.

Our graduate faculty see a demand for social justice-informed communication studies. Our program offers rigorous training for students interested in communication and in centering social justice in their scholarship and/or career.

Our PhD program uniquely centers on social justice at the program level.

The social justice focus is reflected in our emphasis on engagement with local and global issues in research programs, particularly, through research externships that connect student research with local communities.

The school and UC both have established externship-placement programs that help to connect students to industry organizations. (UC ranks No. 3 among the nation's elite institutions for co-op and internships for 2020 beating out the MIT, Duke, Stanford, and many more. We come in No. 1 in the nation among public universities in this category.)

We will help you achieve your academic and career goals:

Academic: Our program-level focus on social justice and diverse expertise in various approaches to communication (i.e., health, interpersonal, organizational/PR, media studies, rhetorical, etc.) will allow you to explore the expansive terrain of communication to identify the approach that works best with you and your issue of interest.

Community Connections: As part of the PhD curriculum, you will make connections with social justice issues and organizations through built-in research externship experiences.

Academic Life: You will work closely with leading scholars in the discipline. You will join a close-knit community of communication alumni and current student scholars passionate about social justice.

Career Preparation: Both the school and UC have established internship-placement programs that help to connect students to industry organizations. If you are interested in academic jobs, you will receive guidance approaching the end of the program concerning job search in academia.

Who should apply?

You should consider our program if:

You are trained in communication theories, research, and practice, and want guidance to steer and hone your expertise to a career in academic, industry, or social work that deals with issues of social justice.

You have focused interest in general or specific issues of social justice and want to approach those issues from a communicative perspective.

How to win scholarships for communications.

Communications is all about getting your point across, and in this case, you’ll want to convey you’re the best fit for the scholarship you’re applying for. Don’t be afraid to show off your writing with a wi n ning essay or highlight your skills in a resume . We can also help you start and end your scholarship essays and write a “ Why do you deserve this scholarship? ” essay. Find scholarships that fit you, so that you can showcase your passion for communications and what drives you to pursue it. 

Resources for students studying communications

National communication association (nca).

This organization is open to students, teachers, and practitioners alike! The NCA holds an annual convention and provides programs and tools for people to explore. It includes three student organizations for students to choose from:  Lambda Pi Eta , Sigma Chi Eta , and NCA student clubs . They also have a career center to advise members on the job market, and the NCA offers grant opportunities to help members pursue their education. 

Communication organizations at school

You can get connected with your peers or network with mentors by participating in organizations on or around your campus. For instance, some campuses have a faction of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) that allow guest speakers and discuss popular campaigns and methods. 

There are also other societies and organizations for the varying divisions of communications, such as the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) or the American Advertising Federation .  

Summer communications programs 

If you’re interested in getting started early, there are multiple communications summer programs that you can get involved in. Some of them are geared toward high school students, such as the LaunchX Entrepreneurship Summer Program , which means you can figure out if this is the major for you before you even get on campus.  However, there are still communications programs offered for current college students that want to stay on top of their game during the summer like the St. John’s College Summer Academy .        

Should I fill out the FAFSA if I receive scholarships?

Can my job or internship help pay for college, additional resources for students.
