Overview

Though we have communicated our entire lives, it is less common for us to think about how we communicate, why we communicate, and the effects of our communication.

About this Degree

Exploring the how, the why, and the effects of messages will be the main theme of your coursework at Fairfield University. Content will be driven by research, and students will leave having formed their own evidence-based recommendations for practice. Ideally, coursework in communication will enhance your personal, professional, and public lives.

Throughout your Communication course of study, our diverse and active faculty will direct you through advanced communication research. You will be led to recognize the importance of communication and the meaning it gives to ideas, relationships, communities, and identities. Additionally, you will enhance your oral and written capabilities, critical thinking, and analytical reasoning skills, while learning to apply communication theories to your everyday life.
