Communication
Studies deals with the strategic and ethical uses of communication
to foster personal, family, and work relationships and
to build, alter, and revolutionize communities and cultures.
Students explore theories and practices of verbal, nonverbal,
written, visual, and electronic communication as they
are used to inform, persuade, entertain, and network people,
companies, agencies, and institutions. A Bachelor of Arts
degree, a Master of Arts degree, and an undergraduate
minor is offered. Careers in the diverse communication
field usually require a bachelor's degree and are found
in business, industry, government, and entrepreneurial
outlets. For more information on the undergraduate Communication
