Build a strong foundation in communication studies

国产麻豆AV鈥檚 Communication Studies program encourages you to think, speak and write clearly. Because communication involves interacting with others, the courses you鈥檒l take as a Communication Studies major will teach you to communicate in a variety of public, small group and performance-style settings.

As a Communication Studies major, you鈥檒l be encouraged to become an ethical communicator, to view events from multiple perspectives, to understand the multicultural influences of communication in today鈥檚 world and to question the basic problems of human communication in order to understand self, others and events.

Because communication is involved in the majority of professions, Communication Studies majors find that this is a valuable degree, whether you鈥檙e interested in working in politics, non-profit organizations, education or research.

In addition to a variety of combined degree programs, we offer a combined bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degree program, allowing you to complete a bachelor鈥檚 and a graduate degree in as few as five years.
