The University of Massachusetts-Amherst is an R1 (research-intensive) University, and the Department of Communication has an excellent record of placing PhD graduates in academic positions. Our research and teaching areas include media, technology, and culture; critical cultural studies; film studies; performance studies; and language and social interaction. Across these areas we have strong foci on international and comparative perspectives and on social justice.
