How to contact us
The Department of Communication embraces the fields of broadcasting (radio and television), cable, film, journalism, advertising, public relations, and speech. Although the media are interrelated, students may concentrate in one of these fields. Some students, however, will seek a mixture or subspecialty which combines study in several Communication areas. The department will adapt each student’s curriculum to his or her goals, and for this reason individual student advising by the Communication faculty is a high priority.

Students who major in Communication become knowledgeable about the subject matter from both humanistic and scientific perspectives. They also have several opportunities to acquire on-the-job experiences through departmental internships, as well as individualized study available through faculty-directed projects and theses. A Communication degree program prepares students for professional careers and advanced studies. In addition, courses are designed to serve students in other departments of the University by developing their oral and written communication skills.

A student wishing to earn a B.A. degree in Communication must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 36 semester hours from the Department of Communication course offerings. Included among these 36 hours are six core courses which are required for all Communication majors.
  • B.A. degree in Communication
  • Minor in Communication
  • Concentrations in:
    Advertising/Public Relations
    Broadcasting/Film
    Communication Studies
    Journalism
    Radio/TV Production
