Overview
Specifically, we hope to produce researchers capable of generative critical thought and scholarship; to balance areas of specialization with a holistic approach that stimulates dialogue between areas; to understand communication as both an art and science; and to provide facilities for creative communication expression and experimentation.
Travel
Graduate students from the Communication Studies program at Louisiana State University are encouraged to participate in conferences and other scholarly events held outside LSU.
The Graduate School and College of Humanities and Social Sciences offer a limited amount of financial support for graduate student travel through programs such as the Graduate Student Travel Award and Graduate Student Association Travel Awards.
Typically, awards are only available to individuals who are presenting research at the conference and/or festival to which they are travelling. Students should apply for awards immediately after acceptance, as awards are granted on a first come, first serve basis.
