Communication Arts

Communications is an academic discipline that studies all forms of human communication and encompasses a broad range of communicative skills that are important for success in any career or activity.  Graduates with a degree in communications have entered a wide variety of occupations, including radio and television broadcasting, public relations, technical editing, sales, government and academic administration, teaching, etc., and a number have gone on to graduate and professional schools.  The degree is designed to give students an understanding of communication in a variety of contexts (e.g., interpersonal, intercultural, organizational, political and mass communication) as well as prepare them to be effective, well-rounded communicators.  Opportunities exist for participation in such co-curricular activities as the Communications Student Association, video production,
and debate and forensics.
