Communication

Major/Minor

Communication involves people and includes a variety of methods for transmitting, receiving, and evaluating what individuals say and do. Communication-trained personnel work in a variety of careers, which include human resources, sales and advertising, communication consulting, public relations, radio/television, journalism, and industrial publications. There are three programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Arts in communication: communication studies, mass communication, and organizational communication.

  • Students majoring in mass communication may choose from four concentration areas: broadcasting, print journalism, public relations, and visual communications.
  • Communication majors are encouraged to gain practical, hands-on experience by participating in the many communication-related clubs and activities on campus which include cable television programming, WWSU-FM radio station, and The Guardian (student newspaper).
