Graduate Program Mission Statement

The Ethical Difference
Walking the Humanities into the Marketplace
Education for the Mind, Heart, and the Spirit

The Department of Communication & Rhetorical Studies offers graduate degrees (M.A. and Ph.D.) intentionally situated within a series of what Martin Buber referred to as a unity of contraries. The program embraces the productive tensions between theory and practice; preparation for teaching and for the marketplace; recruitment of traditional and non-traditional students; excellence in teaching and scholarship; professional expectations and an invitational intellectual community. The program integrates a humanities education with practical application and a commitment to communication in the marketplace. Consistent with the mission of Duquesne University, the graduate program unites liberal arts and professional education, moral issues and secular excellence.
