Who We Are
The Organizational Communication group is housed in the Department of Communication, a vibrant intellectual community committed to the critical, humanistic, and social scientific study of communication and offering BA, MA, and PhD degrees. It is one of three inter-collaborating areas: Rhetoric & Culture, Community & Social Interaction, and Organizational Communication. As an area, Organizational Communication has long been recognized as one of the top units—if not the top—in this area in the interdisciplinary Communication field, due to the quality of its faculty and the training of its students. Faculty members are among the national and international leaders in their fields.
Established in 2015, the University of Colorado Boulder College of Media, Communication, and Information is at the forefront of the revolution in communication and digital technology. CMCI prides itself on offering students an interdisciplinary education with a focus on innovation and creativity. Our students and faculty from six departments and an independent PhD program think across boundaries, innovate around emerging problems, and create culture that transcends convention.
CMCI strives to be a community whose excellence is premised on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We seek candidates who share this dedication and demonstrate understanding of the experiences of those historically underrepresented in higher education. We welcome applications from minoritized racial and ethnic identities, ciswomen, non-normative genders and sexualities, persons with disabilities, and others who have encountered legacies of marginalization.
