Communication Studies & Theatre Art Present (2015-2016)
Department Description:
The communication studies curriculum is designed to have students graduate with the ability to think critically and creatively about communication issues, to be able to approach different communication contexts from a problem-solving perspective, and to develop their own skills in interpersonal, group and public speaking contexts. A liberal arts degree with a major in communication is designed for people interested in corporate and industrial communication, the broadcasting industry, journalism, advertising, public relations, management, event planning, sales and marketing, training and development, human resources, and similar fields. Many students combine a communication major or minor with other fields such as art, business, English writing, psychology, theatre, world languages and others.
