A Master of Arts in Communication is an example of a higher education degree related to telecommunications. At John Hopkins University, students "tackle real-life communication issues, develop usable communication skills, and build a strong portfolio" while enrolled in the program. The university's curriculum integrates digital technology with strategic communication and strong writing skills. Required classes include Introduction to the Digital Age; electives include The Rise of Communications Technologies, each of which is directly related to telecommunications.
Michigan State University's College of Communication Arts & Sciences offers several Master of Arts degrees related to telecommunications. One is "Information and Telecommunication Management," a specialty offered within the school's Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media. The degree is designed for those who manage communications networks and design technology applications for the future. Probable careers include telecommunications consultants and marketing managers for communication services.
Common jobs for telecommunications majors are in production roles at media outlets. Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications offers higher education in this field with a master's degree in television-radio-film. It requires completion of 36 credits and covers topics from music and radio production to interactive media. Graduates of the program find employment as writers, directors, editors and producers.
