Our aim is to prepare you to compete in, understand, and
provide leadership in a world which is more and more a
communication-oriented society.
We offer a balance of humanistic and scientific instruction in
communication skills people need to function effectively in
teaching, business, law, the communication professions, public
service and administration, the ministry, public relations,
politics, and management. You have an opportunity to explore
the full range of human communication.
Our major and minor are well grounded in interpersonal skills,
in problem-solving and decision-making methods, and in
group and organizational leadership. We study issues such as
how we perceive events, express ourselves verbally and
nonverbally, and how communication influences human
b~havior and social developments, We develop skills in oral
and written communication, statistics and research methods
(including using computers), and how to employ these skills
in specific career areas.
Our program offers a variety of exciting activities to enrich
your educational experience. We have a fine intercollegiate
forensics program of debate and individual speaking. We host
a national Communication Conference each spring which
brings scholars and students from around the country,
We offer you personalized advising. Our major builds on a
sound core of foundation courses, but is completed by
courses selected to meet your needs and career objectives,
often with a minor in an appropriate field. We think your
choice of an adviser is an important decision, and we
encourage our students to pick their own adviser. You'll find
we're glad to talk with you,
