Undergraduate Program Description
The Department of Communication is concerned with the study,
criticism, research, teaching, and application of the artistic, humanistic, and scientific principles of communication. Through a series of

department also offers upper-level courses in communication law and
policy, ethics, intercultural and international communication, interpersonal and group communication, mass communication, political
