Communication is broadly defined as the process people use to generate meaning through messages across a variety of different contexts, channels, and cultures. The Communication Studies major will help students develop in-demand job skills that will assist them in their career path. Our classes cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from interpersonal and conflict to intercultural and health communication, allowing students to directly apply what they learn in class to real world situations.

Through our degree program, students will develop a variety of communication and critical thinking skills, working in teams, and hands-on experience with data and textual analysis. The major provides students with a strong core foundation in the study of communication, while also offering students advanced studies in particular communication contexts. What students learn and experience as a Communication Studies major will not only benefit them in the workplace but also help in their personal lives.

Students with a major in the Department of Media, Journalism and Film may not declare an additional major in Communication Studies.
