How we communicate with each other is always evolving. We text, we stream, we swipe, we meme. We also vote, debate, and take to the streets. Our faculty and graduate students help us understand our changing world while also doing their part to shape it. The research we do at Carleton challenges the boundaries of communication studies by building on intellectual traditions from a broad range of disciplines. We are committed to interdisciplinarity. Our faculty and graduate students come to us from Communication and Media Studies programs but also disciplines such as Sociology, Political Science, Literary Studies, Geography, Art History, and Human Computer Interaction.

Specializations in African Studies, Data Science, Latin American and Caribbean Studies and Climate Change are available.
