Johns Hopkins University’s (JHU) Advanced Academic Program on Master in Communication

This is Dom who is interested in Political Communication, I am applying the JHU AAP on Master in Communication, however, a lot of websites reveal that it is not worth to waste money to enrol or it is a continuing study. I am currently a journalism student in HK, I am interested in Communication study and have the intention to apply PhD in Communication. I called JHU, they told me it is a normal master degree, also supply research and professional training. Would anybody introduce whether it is a good way to prepare the PhD or whether it is worth to study in JHU AAP? Or introduce this program a little bit. Thanks
