The graduate program in Communication Studies offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The program is concerned with the study of communication phenomena through interdisciplinary training that draws on a variety of fields including cultural studies; critical media and technology studies; feminist media studies; Black media studies; public policy and governance; queer theory; and sound studies. The program strives to offer a balance of humanities and social sciences approaches to the analysis of communication, and its orientation is primarily qualitative (rather than quantitative) in nature. The M.A. and Ph.D. degrees are academic in character, and do not include professional training in journalism, organizational communication, or media production. The Communication Studies program offers courses and directs project research in preparation for the M.A.(Thesis) and Ph.D. in Communication Studies. The graduate option in Gender and Women鈥檚 Studies is available as a program option, and students benefit from the resources and activity of , a hub of research and public outreach on critical issues in media, culture, and emerging technology.

麻豆AV is situated in one of the most vibrant cities in North America, and Montreal offers myriad opportunities for graduate students to engage with local arts institutions, either officially, through internships and research fellowships, or unofficially, through volunteering. Local institutions range from large-scale public museums (such as the Mus茅e d'art contemporain, the Mus茅e des beaux-arts) to smaller alternative cultural centres (MAI, Articule, Oboro). The Canadian Centre for Architecture, with its archives and exhibitions and the Biblioth猫que et Archives nationales du Qu茅bec also offer grants and research opportunities for local graduate students. A close relationship with the other three major universities in Montreal (Concordia University, Universit茅 de Montr茅al, and Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al) affords students access to a broad network of additional courses, lectures, and colleagues across the city.
