What is M&C?

M&C is the doctoral program of the Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple University. Its faculty prepare advanced graduate students to contribute to theory and research in the field of communication, with an emphasis on mediated communication.

What do M&C faculty do?

M&C faculty administer the program and advise, teach and work with the doctoral students while pursuing their own research and scholarship. M&C faculty with less than two years of full-time teaching experience are protected from taking on major administrative, advising, and teaching responsibilities in the program. Untenured M&C faculty are expected to fulfill fewer service obligations.

Why is there an application to be on the M&C faculty?

To provide its students with the necessary training and opportunities for collaborative research and to build a positive reputation within Temple and beyond, the M&C faculty members need to be active scholars, so every year all eligible faculty in the School (including all those who are currently M&C faculty) are asked to apply to be members for the following year.

What are the criteria for membership?

All full-time, tenure-track or tenured faculty members in Klein who have a Ph.D. are eligible to apply. M&C faculty members have to have authored or co-authored one of the following within the previous 5 years: 1) two scholarly blind peer-reviewed journal articles on M&C-relevant subjects, 2) three scholarly publications on M&C-relevant subjects, or 3) one scholarly peer-reviewed book on M&C-relevant subjects.
