The M.S.Ed. degree in Intercultural Communication prepares students to address problems that arise from cultural differences in values, assumptions, and modes of interaction and to work in educational, social service, business, or governmental settings. Students draw from the fields of linguistics, psychology, anthropology, and other relevant areas of study within the Graduate School of Education and the University.
Practical experience is an integral part of the program.
Faculty work along with students so that they may complete supervised internships in their choice of local, national, or international environments and educational, professional, business, or social service settings. Graduates pursue careers as foreign student advisors, administrators of educational cultural exchange programs, advisors in international trade and foreign service, personnel consultants to industry, and as trainers and resource people for social service agencies. Electives Electives may be selected to fit specific professional goals and interests from courses offered at the Graduate School of Education and from relevant courses offered by other schools in the university. One of the five electives must be chosen from among the courses offered within the Language in Education Division. This is a unique opportunity to spend two summers of class work at the University with follow-up projects at home.
