SOCM Double Owl Pathway

The School of Communication and Media is proud to announce its Double Owl Pathways. 

This is a way for students to take selected graduate courses in place of selected undergraduate courses. This is a chance for you to earn BOTH undergraduate and graduate course credit at the SAME time. 

If you are one of our high achieving students who is curious about graduate school and want to take a few graduate classes in Integrated Global Communication, then this is the perfect opportunity for you.
