M.A. in Communication Capstones

M.A in Communication Capstones

Merrimack’s masters in communication capstone projects are a culminating experience in our students’ communication graduate education. 

 

What are Capstone Projects?

Capstone projects offer our M.A. in communication students the opportunity to produce a substantive research or creative project related to their career goals. They receive support from a faculty member with shared expertise and publicly present their work at the end of the semester.
