Overview

The Department of Communicology (COMG) at University of Hawaii at Manoa has as its primary objectives the development of knowledge in and instruction concerning the process of communication. This involves three fundamental areas of emphasis.

The first area is human message processing, which involves understanding the function and structure of the various codes, verbal and nonverbal, used to form messages in communication as well as examining the encoding and decoding processes involved in communication.

The second area is relational communication, which focuses on factors that influence growth, maintenance, and termination of relationships.

The third area, social influence, deals with the processing of beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral modification, including gaining compliance, conflict resolution, persuasive campaigns, and propaganda.

Key Features

Students are afforded ample opportunity to develop their communicative skills by applying theory in such diverse activities as interviewing, persuasion, group discussion, organizational communication, conflict management, intercultural communication, public speaking, relational communication, deceptive communication, and health communication.

Indeed, the basic philosophy of this department–and it is stressed in every course and co-curricular program offered–is that there is no surer preparation for professional life and participation in society than an education that enhances the ability of the individual to maintain lifelong learning and the skills to communicate effectively.
