Department of Communication

The revolution in technology has given added importance to the study of communication and media.

What We Offer

In all communication programs, students receive both classroom instruction and internship experiences, and the programs' flexible requirements allow faculty to accommodate individual backgrounds, needs, and interests.

Our Programs

We offer a Communication BA and two minor program options. Our Communication BA allows you to concentrate in one of these specialized areas:

• Media Communication and Advertising
• Speech, Language and Hearing Science

Our Communication Minor is a great way for a student majoring outside of the Communication Department to add an additional area of mastery to their resume. With nearly all fields relying on strong communications skills, this option is a wonderful value add for all job candidates.

Our Digital Media Production Minor is for any student who wants to expand their digital media skills and learn to produce professional audio, video, music, podcasts, live streams, and other multimedia projects. Courses include the foundations of concept development and scriptwriting for various forms of media and opportunities for advanced study in video and audio production and other forms of multimedia content creation.

We also offer a Strategic Communication BA. Strategic communication is an area where the aim is to communicate an entity’s (organizational, business, political, or otherwise) goals, mission, values, or policies.
