Der Feuervogel aufersteht.

NCSU actually had an entire Gender Communication concentration in communication while I was an undergrad. I dunno if that's still available.

Most of what I studied in my concentration (Mass Media) involved how various media influence the way messages come across and how social groups are influenced by various approaches to internal communication. Obviously there's a lot more to it than this (as it was a four year program), but ultimately you get a crapton of interesting theory and studies with very little "and now you turn it into a job" stuff.
