“My graduate coursework at BU has provided me with a diverse communications research education and continuous opportunities to develop as a scholar. I’ve had the invaluable experience to work firsthand on real life client projects, assist faculty with their research projects, and pursue my own individual research interests, too. I am very grateful and thankful for the continuous support I received from the faculty, students, and staff.”
