CU Boulder's Master of Arts in Corporate Communication offers a 10-course, 30-credit curriculum of core and specialized courses.
Core Courses
The five core courses are required of all students because they cover the conceptual foundations of sound corporate communication. These courses orient students to theories and frameworks in public relations and corporate communication.
Specialized Courses
Corporate Communication is a diverse practice with many specialties often divided based on the stakeholders involved: employees that are internal publics and key to an organization’s success, investors that often invest in for-profit corporations or donors to not-for-profit organizations. The specialized courses are designed to expose students to the variety of work handled by corporate communication practitioners.
