About Us
The goal of the Communication faculty is to help our students understand the critical role of communication in the diverse contexts of their lives. Students with a Major or Minor in Communication acquire the skills and knowledge they need to make a positive change in the world. Communication minors are able to live, work, and communicate effectively, creatively, responsibly, and ethically in personal relationships, civic life, the workforce, and graduate school.
