Communication Studies

Communication

Why do they communicate in those ways and not in others?

The communication studies major examines the levels and formats of communication, including intrapersonal and interpersonal, organizational, intercultural, nonverbal, mediated, rhetoric and public speaking. It offers students a variety of career and graduate school opportunities through the study of all aspects of human communication, from the theoretical to practical performance. Students will often ask, “How?” and “Why?” How do people in specific situations communicate? Why do they communicate in those ways and not in others? In the communication studies program, we ask these questions in order to examine these techniques and styles with the goal of better understanding the people around us. Communication studies graduates are prepared for most any job that involves communicating, including project managers, speech writers and missionaries. Many students also go on to graduate school or law school to pursue careers in a variety of professions.
