Communication

The Department of Communication helps students develop their verbal, nonverbal, and visual communication knowledge and skills through the exploration of human communication and convergent media, which includes journalism, photojournalism, and video production.

To suit a variety of goals, the Communication Department also offers optional minors in all these areas with the exception of photojournalism.

The faculty bring a broad range of academic and professional training and accomplishments to the classroom. In addition, student-centered programs emphasize skill-building, critical thinking, research, and writing. Students may earn credit for on-campus practical experience with such organizations as the University's student newspaper, student-run radio station, community access television, public radio facilities, and public relations operations.

Communication majors intern throughout and beyond the immediate region at newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, social service organizations, government agencies, advertising and public relations firms, and other business and organizations.
