Bachelor of Arts - Communication Studies

The Bachelor of Arts - Communication Studies program helps students to understand communication theory in a variety of contexts: interpersonal, small group, organizational, and public communication. Several types of major and minor programs (including teacher education programs, an interdepartmental major, and a minor in intercultural communication) prepare them to analyze and practice communication in business and professional situations (both profit and non-profit), in educational settings (including preparation for graduate school) and in the community at large.

Students will learn how to choose their words and tone for speeches and written communication as well as how to listen for the communication cues of others to be able to quickly solve problems. They will study methods and techniques for producing effective communication locally, nationally and internationally.
