About Us

The current changes in telecommunications and technology not only provide challenges to both individual citizens and larger societies, but also signal the increasing importance of understanding the nature of communication within and between families, societies, cultures, and workers.



The Communication Studies Department prepares students to identify and meet the demands of these challenges. Course work emphasizes the development of analytical skills, effective communication practices, and an increased insight into the intersection of human meaning making and the multifaceted conditions of knowing and valuing the world in which we live.
