Concentrations in the Major

The major in Communication Studies provides students with the best features of a liberal arts and a professional education. The Core courses, in combination with the University’s General Education requirements, provide students with opportunities to develop competencies through examining the role played by communication in various contexts. The concentration is the means through which students develop a specialization, while exploring the broad spectrum of human communication. The concentrations provide a focus to the major but are not intended to be career-specific. Each concentration provides skills and competencies applicable to a variety of potential careers under the broader headings of health communication, organizational communication, and communication and public advocacy. Majors are expected to complete the requirements of at least one of the following three concentrations selected in consultation with a faculty advisor.
