The Department of Communication
If you are interested in becoming a more competent communicator as well as understanding both how communication works and how to improve communication effectiveness across the various contexts: in your relationships, in the places you meet and work, in group settings, in the context of health, between and within various cultures, etc. then you have landed in the right place.
The major in Communication is an interdisciplinary curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. It seeks to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of the nature of human communication, the symbol systems by which it functions, the environments in which it occurs, and its effects. Employing critical and empirical approaches, the major draws its resources from the social sciences, humanities, and the fine arts. The concentration in interpersonal communication centers on face-to-face communicative interaction.
