Ringkasan program

This program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, manage, and evaluate communication processes involving individuals, groups, and the public. Graduates develop strong oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills as well as an advanced ability to analyze and critique messages, behaviors, and media. Majors typically plan their upper-division course work around five identified career paths: corporate communication, health communication, human communication, interpersonal relationships, and mass communication. Students also can tailor their own unique program of study to meet specific needs. Careful planning with the student’s advisor is necessary. Communication majors are encouraged to participate in educational activities beyond regular course offerings.
