The Communication courses are designed to help you develop many of the competencies you need for a career in mass communication and/or organizational communication. Our communications curriculum is organized into two tracks, or concentrations, within the communications field — Communication Studies and Mass Communication. The Communication Studies track combines approaches from the social sciences and humanities to focus on communication at intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, team, and organizational levels. This track will introduce you to the theories, rhetoric, symbolism, media, and effects of human communication. The Mass Communication track emphasizes the technology and techniques through which significant numbers of people are exposed to messages created by professional and quasi-professional communicators.
