Health and Strategic Communication, M.S.

The Master of Science in Health and Strategic Communication graduate program aims to foster an understanding of the behavioral, psychological and social bases of health and requires students to engage in individual scholarship or team research of an interdisciplinary nature. Health and strategic communication is the study and use of communication strategies to inform and influence individual, institutional, community and public audiences about important health issues. Our mission is to help improve policy and decision-making through evidence-based research, analysis and application.

Chapman and non-Chapman students can apply to the M.S. program as early as the spring semester of their junior year. Students will receive conditional admission to the program, pending completion of their B.A. degree.
