Overview

Key features

Communication has been studied, debated, dissected and held up as a reflection of our culture. As thinking beings we are always trying to figure out how to be better, smarter or more persuasive communicators.

By joining Communication Studies at Coe College, you will learn to tell your stories. You will shape the story, make the story and be the story.

Coe provides students the opportunity to work with the kinds of digital media tools used to make, share and critique content.
The major combines depth and breadth. You will take classes in media studies, production, relational communication and public discourse and have the opportunity to take multiple classes in your area of interest.
Classes in this department are kept small, creating space for you to debate and discuss ideas in engaging seminars and enabling you to receive substantial feedback from our talented faculty.
You will have numerous opportunities for out-of-class experiences in service learning, community engagement projects, professional internships and off-campus studies.
Department faculty are connected to the field and the community and are able to help you pursue your scholarly and professional interests.
