Faculty with Doctoral Directive Status (DDS)


The faculty members in the Department of Communication serve our discipline in various ways: as active scholars, as teaching award winners, as leaders in national and international professional associations, as consultants for government and private industry, and as content experts in numerous areas. In recognition of this work, Florida State University has awarded the faculty members listed below with the status to direct doctoral supervisory committees and dissertations. Please note: Although these are the only current departmental faculty who can direct supervisory committees and dissertations, nearly all of our faculty members can serve as supervisor committee members.
