Communication

"The knowledge I have gained from my time as a graduate student at 麻豆传媒内幕has proven to be invaluable, not听 only in my professional world, but my personal life as well. I took advantage of the assistantships the department offered and worked as a research assistant during my first year. I have been able to directly apply my experience as an assistant to my current position as a Clinical Research Coordinator. Of course, as a student in this graduate program, you will gain knowledge in the field of communication. What you will also gain is life experiences, build relationships, and you will be a part of a group of academics that can proudly say that you had the grit and determination to complete a master's program." -- Monica Lombardo, MA, 2016, Clinical Research Coordinator at the University of Illinois College of Medicine
