Overview

A Communication Studies major from Nebraska Wesleyan University customarily earns either a B.A. or B.S. degree. However, if a student has a first major that is associated with a different baccalaureate degree, the Communication Studies major may serve as a second major for the degree associate with the first major (B.F.A., B.M., B.S.N.).

At NWU, you’ll see why “communication” and “community” are so closely related. NWU Communication Studies majors are a tight-knit group.
