What a ride, and what a climb this term has
been. I’ve turned in my final assignment
for COM 6691 Strategic Communication Inquiry & Research and soon will log
on for the two-hour final exam for COM 6630, Strategic Communication and
Emerging Media. As both of these classes,
and Term III, come to a close I realize I will have completed 60% of the degree
requirements for my Master of Science in Strategic Communications. It feels so good to be over that halfway mark,
yes I can relate to “The Climb.” But
interestingly enough I have started entertaining the doctoral program idea once
more. I still have a bit, a couple of
years, left on my Post 9-11 G.I. Bill and my work on this Master’s program has
renewed my passion for Communications.
Although it would be nice to have an opportunity to do something “in passing”
it is unfortunate that Troy University doesn’t yet offer doctoral programs in Communications. In fact, I think the only PhD program there
is at Troy is in Sports Management. Like
I said, I’m “entertaining” the idea.
Perhaps I could add a graduate certificate in Digital Media Skills from
U.C. Berkeley. They offer a graduate
level certificate program that focuses on the strategic production and
implementation of digital media content for a “web facing and mobile-first
audience.” Sounds interesting. No matter which direction I end up going it’s
like Miley Cyrus said in “The Climb” – “Ain’t about how fast I get there. Ain’t about what’s waitin’ on the other
side. It’s the climb!”
One thing I
do know, I have really enjoyed this blogging experience and I plan on
continuing to update this blog throughout the remainder of my degree program
and beyond. I’ve just registered for my next
term so coming soon will be a combined JRN 6615, PR and Strategic Communications
and a COM 6635, Strategic Organizational Communication blogging experience. I think that continuing to share my responses and thoughts related to coursework will also add to my knowledge base for the not-too-distant Comprehensive
Exam. So this isn’t goodbye, it’s see
you real soon.
Strategically Yours,
Autumn
I just love a good inspirational quote - so I'll leave a few right here for you to enjoy!
