From the Director…..
The Communication Major reflects an ideal blend of theory wedded to practice: a Communication Core; a combination of study in theory, writing, speaking and media; a professional internship related to the student's interests; and a concentration in a second academic discipline. As a result, students are prepared to pursue graduate study in a wide range of disciplines, embark on a variety of careers, and remain flexible in the face of change.
