Stephen Littlejohn's book Theories of Human Communication (probably on its 15th edition by now) is a basic overview of most com theories. I personally think the book has been over edited to death and is very sterile but it is a flagbearer book. Well-respected. https://www.amazon.com/Theories-Communication-Eleventh-Stephen-Littlejohn/dp/1478634057/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SF4YEF2TEVC9CJ61032D

A graduate level read that is a really good overview of the scope of com theories is this book by Robert Craig and Heidi Mueller: https://www.amazon.com/Theorizing-Communication-Readings-Across-Traditions/dp/1412952379/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_2?keywords=communication+theory+robert+craig&qid=1557254455&s=books&sr=1-2-fkmrnull

This book by Shepherd, Striphas, and St. John is also one that I like...it is a different approach, more laid back in its writing and it tries to approach communication from a different angle. The book is a series of essays by prominent scholars explaining how they "see" communication. Worth checking out. https://www.amazon.com/Communication-as-Perspectives-Gregory-Shepherd/dp/1412906571/ref=sr_1_1

Kathy Miller's communication theory book is good as well but I haven't seen any of the newer editions. I used to teach out of that book 10 years ago and liked it. https://www.amazon.com/Communication-Theories-Perspectives-Processes-Contexts/dp/0767405005

You should be able to find a used copy of all these books for not that much money. There are plenty of com theory books out there, but these are good starting points and will prep you well for your MA program.
