Overview

Program Overview

The B.S.C. Communication Studies Major from Ohio University, offered through Honors Tutorial College, builds upon the strengths of the School of Communication Studies (COMS) in three main areas:
Public advocacy (including political communication and argumentation).
Relational and organizational communication (including health and environmental communication as well as family, group, and intercultural interactions).
Rhetorical criticism (including verbal, audio-visual, digital, and physical environments).
The first two years of the program include core classes taken with other COMS majors, optional tutorials in other core classes, and customized tutorials developed by the student in consultation with the director of studies. The third and fourth years focus on development of research methods, advanced topics, the honors thesis, and preparation for a career or graduate education. Because intercultural communication is increasingly important in today’s world, students are encouraged to study abroad and learn a second language during their undergraduate years. Students will receive a degree of Bachelor of Science in Communication from the Honors Tutorial College.

Opportunities Upon Graduation

Following graduation, about half of COMS HTC graduates attend law school or enter other graduate programs, another 30% begin careers in political and other non-profit organizations (e.g., Teach for America), and 20% begin careers in business and media organizations.
