Communication Studies focuses on how people use messages to generate meaning. Students examine all aspects of communication, including the channels through which messages are transmitted (e.g. nonverbal, verbal, visual) and the media we use (e.g. print, television, computers). Students choose one of four concentrations that reflect the core contexts in which communication takes place: Interpersonal and Group Communication, Intercultural and International Communication, Rhetoric and Public Advocacy, and Digital Communication and Culture. As one of the most pragmatic and popular fields of academic study, Communication Studies provides an ideal springboard for a large variety of graduate degrees and an increasing number of careers.
