Learning to use communication to move your ideas forward is the focus of Antioch’s M.A. in Strategic Communication. You might be a manager who wants a better way to connect with employees. You could be leading a community or nonprofit group and recognize the need to improve your advocacy skills. You may be working for a business that wants to communicate its message more effectively.

Communicating successfully is more important than ever before and a master's degree in Strategic Communication can help you. You learn how communication can help achieve positive social change. You frame critical social, environmental and economic issues so they resonate with different groups. You consider the best media to communicate your message. You become a better listener, negotiator and advocate. And as you develop these practical skills, you also learn to design and implement strategies for communication so you're better equipped to anticipate and respond to change.

This degree is designed for those who want to strengthen their ability to communicate effectively for change, including communications and media professionals. Designed to complement your real-world priorities, the program offers a convenient class schedule with all courses offered in a four-day weekend module just once a month.

Antioch’s Strategic Communication faculty members are scholar-practitioners who combine knowledge of the latest ideas about communications with plenty of real-world experience. Faculty interests focus on visual media and civic engagement.

The M.A. in Strategic Communication is one of the graduate degrees offered by the Center for Creative Change.

If you want to strengthen your skills to lead environmental and social change, but aren’t quite ready to commit to a degree, consider a nine-month graduate certificate in effective communication strategies.
