The Communication Studies program provides students with a broad-based exposure to the academic discipline that focuses on human symbolic interaction. In an effort to cultivate critical thinking, clear writing, articulate speaking and proficiency with technology, our students study communication within interpersonal, group, organizational, public and mediated contexts. Through a combination of theoretical grounding and practical experience, we prepare our majors for a range of careers, enable them to participate productively in a democratic culture, and instill in them a desire for life-long learning. Course work is supplemented by practica, internships, co-curricular activities and supervised independent study.
