What you'll study

The curriculum lets students choose one of four emphasis tracks and combine communication with other majors or minors:

• Communication Studies — leadership approaches and traits, communication styles, conflict resolution strategies, and non-verbal communication; broad study across communication topics to build workplace versatility.
• Public Relations — persuasive communication across evolving traditional and digital media; a customizable mix of art, business and communication courses aimed at PR careers.
• Business Communication — communication and business coursework to prepare students to convey ideas, lead teams, and navigate business contexts.
• Media and Journalism Studies — social, cultural, economic, ethical and political impacts of mass media, social media and journalism, with skills in mass communication and news reporting and critical analysis of mass-media issues.

All tracks include immersive learning: internships with local businesses, service-learning with nonprofits, and a semester-long integrative academic and service experience to demonstrate communication competence and build professional networks.
