Health Communication Online Master's Program
The Health Communication Online Master's (HCOM) program is offered by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Department of Communication as a completely online, asynchronous degree. Ideal for the working professional or students aspiring to enter the healthcare industry, this program features a flexible schedule, affordable tuition, 24/7 on-call advising, and world-class faculty.
The nature of healthcare involves frequent communication with other people, and the success of those encounters often depends on the quality of the communication. HCOM students gain the fundamental tools for practicing high-quality health communication and gain a better understanding of the diversity of people they communicate with in healthcare settings — skills that are widely understood to be crucial, but sometimes underemphasized in health or medical training.
