About the Department

Undergraduates in the Department of Communication learn in one of the nation’s most innovative integrated communication programs, with majors taking two year-long courses devoted to core communication competencies and more specialized topics. Courses consider such subjects as journalism, public relations, new and emerging media, social movements, public opinion, rhetoric, cultural studies, communication between physicians and patients, electronic gaming, and organizational communication. To address constantly evolving communication practices, our distinctive, integrated curriculum discourages specialization in technologies and professional practices that quickly become obsolete. Instead, communication students are exposed to ideas and develop proficiencies that will sustain them for a lifetime. Students become communication experts who write beautifully, speak eloquently, think critically, and research effectively. Our students and faculty understand communication as a liberal art.
