Overview

The faculty of the Communication and Media Studies program of Stetson University aids students in becoming effective creators and critics of communication in relationships, the workplace, the media, the political and legal spheres and organizations (both non-profit and for-profit).

Communicating is something we all do on a daily basis. Both an understanding of human communication and the ability to communicate well are the keys to a successful career. You will be exposed to diverse methods of education, including discussion-rich classes, internships, field experience and ultimately a senior research project. The classes required within our program are used to study communication from rhetorical and qualitative perspectives. You will learn how to be ethical and effective as a communicator who can understand and navigate different cultural, political and social contexts.
