 Return to: Degrees Offered (Majors, Minors)
The communication studies major begins with a traditional liberal arts perspective, infuses an international/intercultural perspective, and then focuses on practical application of communication knowledge and skill. The major is intended for students who wish to be at home in a wide range of situations and cultures and who value the role of communication in creating effective relationships locally and globally. The major is also an effective foundation for advanced study (academic or professional). Students must complete the two communication foundation courses (COM 201 and COM 207) with an overall average of B, in order to graduate from the major.
