In 2004, the UNM doctoral program was ranked #2 among intercultural
communication departments in the United States. Our program emphasizes
the study of inter/cultural communication practices with a particular
focus on the intersection of culture, change, and communication. We
use the term inter/cultural deliberately to (1) signify our interest
in culture as socially constructed and structurally produced and as a
factor that is influential across communication contexts; and (2) to
emphasize the study of difference as perceived and addressed across
cultures. At the doctoral level, the curriculum includes courses such
as Culture, Sustainability, and Change; Culture, Community, and
Change; and Culture, Borderlands, and Change. Within the department,
the Institute of Communication, Culture, and Change aims to engage
research with communities to address local and international social
justice issues. The department is consistently rated as a student
favorite across campus. Various campus research centers and programs
provide opportunities for collaboration, such as the Latin American&
Iberian Institute, the Southwest Hispanic Research Institute, the
Institute for American Indian Research, Women Studies, Africana
Studies, and Sustainability Studies.

The University of New Mexico, the flagship university in the state, is
a research I university and a minority-serving institution. Founded in

sits on historic Route 66 in a newly renovated building and offers

Communication.  The MA degree is a general communication degree; at
the doctoral level, intercultural communication, culture and health
communication, and culture and mass communication are the areas of

The University of New Mexico lies in the heart of Albuquerque, a high
