Areas of Emphasis in Partnership with Communication Studies

The study of communication focuses on how people use messages to generate meanings within and across various contexts. The Communication discipline studies all forms, modes, media, and consequences of human communication, creating flexibility in career choices and opportunities for personal development. 

Our students: 

• develop critical thinking abilities to evaluate communication problems and find solutions
• engage in experiential learning in the community and build toward career goals with hands-on projects
• apply knowledge to conduct research with faculty in areas of interest
• create messages designed for specific audiences, contexts, and goals
• understand and navigate differences in our global society
