Communication PhD progams?
I'm about halfway-ish through my master's program (I'm on the 3 year plan, so about a year and a half left to go), and I'm toying with the idea of getting my PhD. I'd want to take a break of at least 1-2 years before starting, partially because I'm 24 now and have more or less been in school my entire life, and also because it'd be nice to bring some more general life/work experiences with me into the program. Since I'm still turning the idea over in my mind, I haven't really started looking for programs or anything, but... how do I find them?
I'm feeling pretty intimidated right now. Finding a program, taking the GMAT, applying to said program(s), etc. all seems really daunting. Are there any websites that sort of walk you through it, where you can plug in the field you're interested in and it makes suggestions based on that? Alternately, does anyone have any recommendations for PhD programs in the communication field? I'd probably want to stay in MA or at least New England, but right now I just kind of want to get a feel for what's available to me before I even attempt to narrow it down.
