98% of alumni said they felt more competitive and/or received a promotion upon completing their master's degree. WVU's M.S. Digital Marketing Communications degree will not only give you the skills needed. As a nationally-recognized program, you'll stand out against the competition.
For Adam Payne, Digital Marketing Communications ‘22, grad school was never part of the plan. While getting his undergraduate degree in journalism in the Reed School of Media, Covid-19 hit and changed his plans. After some input from other students and professors, Adam took the leap.
“If someone is interested in the program, I would definitely just tell them that it is as flexible as you want it to be and as accommodating. I think what's really great about it is there was such a diversity of people in my courses ... I think the program is really designed to help as many people as possible because you don't have to be sitting in a classroom the whole time to get it done.”
— Adam Payne, Class of 2022
Hear from our students. Learn from their experiences. This is My Marcom Story.
It really meant a lot to have the support, even though it's an online program and there's a lot of people we haven't interacted with in person. You just felt the love and support there. Knowing that you're a mountaineer for life, I think that that's really what makes the program wonderful.
