Communication Studies Graduate School questions!

<p>Hi everyone! This is my first post. I'm currently a Junior pursuing a degree in Finance and Interpersonal Communication Studies. I am strongly considering going to graduate school to pursue a PH.D in Communication Studies. I have a few questions.</p>

<p>Do people typically get their Masters in Comm Studies before going on to pursue a PH.D?</p>

<p>What do programs typically look for in applicants? I am hoping to do some undergraduate research this year, but have to look further into this. </p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>
