Communication

About the Communication Program

Duration of studies: 4 years (8 semesters)

An interdisciplinary major, Communication deals with the function, processes, and analysis of human communication from one-on-one interactions to global networks. Communication students are engaged in both analyzing and creating verbal, non-verbal, visual, and social messages and meanings. They learn to design messages for specific audiences, interpret mediated messages of all kinds, and act as mediators between different organizations and cultures. Small class sizes permit one-on-one work where Communication students learn how to create an effective social science study, and employ it in an individually-tailored research project. Communication internship and independent study opportunities give students the chance to apply their skills in journalistic forums and social media.
