Overview

This degree guides students' conceptual and pragmatic learnings about how interpersonal, organizational, cultural, and mediated messages and encounters shape people's personal, group, and societal attitudes, values, beliefs, and actions.

Overview

While developing several core Communication competencies, each student in this degree program also works with their advisor to obtain the cadre of upper-division coursework that will advance their knowledge and ability in areas that suit the student's particular communication learning goals.

Although this academic major does not distinguish a priori "tracks" within the degree program, UP CST students commonly have shaped Communication B.A. coursework to develop their pragmatic and conceptual expertise in areas such as leadership, media studies, journalism, organizational communication, and intercultural communication, among a wide range of unique possibilities.

This degree program prepares students for a wide range of professional work and for graduate study in communication and related fields. Communication students from University of Portland are actively guided to explore the professional training available to them through a host of community-based academic internships.
