West Virginia University’s Reed College of Media offers two graduate programs that
are great options for professional communicators who want to thrive in the dynamic
marketing communications landscape: Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) and Data Marketing Communications (DMC). Both graduate degrees are first-of-their-kind programs where you can learn
cutting-edge skills from leading experts at an R1-status institution.
