  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.

  Department Description:

  The humanities forum is an interdisciplinary program for study in the humanities. The Forum is funded in part by a development grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The program seeks to enrich existing humanities courses and implement new approaches to instruction in the humanities. The Forum includes faculty and students from Concordia, Moorhead State College, and North Dakota State University. (Quoted from the 1972 Concordia College course catalog)

  Majors and Minors Offered:

  There were no majors or minors offered at this point in time. The program worked in much the same way as the Honors program in which students applied and were accepted into the program as an almost extracurricular line of study.

  Sampling of Courses Taught:

  • Courses taught in the Humanities Forum program were designed to be in-depth interdisciplinary studies of a significant theme.

  Classes were most likely held in the Humanities Center, which is now known as Olin Arts and Communication Center.

  
  
  
  
  
  Fun Facts:

  The Humanities Forum was not a typical department or major/minor program. The forum based admission into the program on applications from students who had completed certain programs.
