Undergraduate Information
Our communication program is founded on the assumptions and methods of contemporary social and behavioral science, and places a strong emphasis on the application of theory and research to the practical real-life problems and dilemmas that confront humans in their interactions. Courses on such topics as cognition, meaning, relationships, nonverbal behavior, persuasion, mass media effects, research methods, and others examine communication phenomena within such contexts as individual relationships, organizations, health care institutions, demographic groups, and the mass-media. With employers keenly aware of the importance of communication skills, successful majors in communication continue to be among the most readily hired of all liberal arts graduates.
