This is what OUR alumni say about MAIGC...
The completion of my Master’s of Art in Integrated Global Communications has allowed
me to expand my knowledge and understanding of both domestic and international issues
and how the world has a collection of cultures that can better relate to one another.
The flexibility of this program allowed me to create a unique pathway that was applicable
to my role at Georgia Tech. It helped me to strengthen my existing professional relationships
in the field of higher education, as well as develop new ones to further help me and
our office to succeed.
Nicole Little - MAIGC '17
The MAIGC program presented the real life, day to day challenges surrounding international
business and international organizational communication. MAIGC instilled cultural
sensitivity and perseverance which is pertinent on a daily basis in my day to day
communication within my organization. Furthermore, MAIGC gave me a toolbox of soft
skills to handle unexpected problems, intercultural miscommunications, and dedication
to finishing the drill even if there is no clear path.
Lindsey Tulkoff - MAIGC '12
The MAIGC program has shaped my academic understanding of crisis communication concerning
natural disasters, but also through my travel abroad seeing initiatives like a sustainable
development community (i.e., Rives Deux) in Strasbourg, France being realized.
Barbara Collier - MAIGC '18
Today in my role as a senior communication consultant for a Fortune 100 company, I’m
able to lean on the strategic and tactical communication skills that I honed while
completing my M.A. in Integrated Global Communication. As a communicator for a major
corporation I’m required to work with senior executives, key stakeholders, and the
media; often times at a moment’s notice. Earning my master’s degree provided the opportunity
to enhance my leadership skills and intellectual stamina - two key characteristics
needed to be a valuable business partner in corporate communication.
Caitlyn Barron - MAIGC '12
Since graduating from the MAIGC program, my career has reached new heights. I have
been with my current company, Safe Banking Systems, for 5 years now. After graduation,
I decided to continue my journey at SBS. I was then promoted to Data Editor and this
year to Data Specialist. Currently, we have merged with a larger company and there
are even more opportunities from a global standpoint. In the next year, I will be
traveling domestically and internationally with my company. The MAIGC program better
prepared me for the business world especially with the trips I was able to take while
in school. In 2017, I did my study abroad in London and also traveled to Japan. My
graduate school experience has inspired me to return in the next few years to teach students
who have the same thirst for knowledge and the world that I did.
Meghan de Saint Aubin - MAIGC '17
My career would not be what it is today without KSU's M.A in Integrated Global Communication.
With the help of esteemed professors who are experts in their fields, the skills and
hands-on experience provided by this program have given me a competitive advantage
that will last a lifetime.

MAIGC was an I credible program and life experience. After being selected into the
first Cohort, I was able to master the collaboration and leadership skills I now use
in my role today. I was also fortunate to be able to spend nearly a month abroad in
China which widened my global communications horizon.
