Overview

Communication is fundamental to understanding the social, political, and cultural world. Communication professionals create and shape the stories we tell. They influence the way people share, receive and process information — an invaluable role that will always be in demand in our modern mediated global society. Employment opportunities are growing in the media, business, education, politics, and arts industries.

Overview

Faculty use applied professional examples to teach in friendly interactive class environments. The recently renovated Communication Building offers state-of-the-art classrooms and labs that provide students with hands-on experience. A major and two minors are offered. Communication majors work in state-of-the-art audio and video production laboratories, offering applied experiences students need to launch careers after graduation. Academic and pre-professional concentrations include Applied Media Production, Media Writing and Journalism, and Leadership Communication. Graduates work in the commercial media industries as well as in government and non-profit settings.
