Communication

A degree in communication is designed to provide students with a balance of communication theory and practical application through simulation and actual presentation. Students may choose to emphasize in speech communication, theatre or business communication. The study of communication is both scientific and aesthetic. Students are given the knowledge to both create and appreciate more completely the different aspects of communication. A communications degree can increase student knowledge in interpersonal communication, organizational communication, small group communication, public communication, mass communication, public relations, advertising, and performance communication. A degree in communication will also help students who want to branch out into other areas such as law, ministry, medicine, business, politics, mass media, negotiation, consulting, theatre, and social services. This degree can also prepare a student for admission to graduate school.
