Welcome to the Communication Department. I invite you to explore the department’s web site and look at the various programs and facilities we have to offer you. As one of the largest departments at the university, we pride ourselves in providing our students with lifelong learning opportunities, as well as a diverse staff of faculty.

Almost all of our faculty have doctoral degrees in various areas including: public relations, radio and television production, journalism, new technologies, communication studies, instructional technology and rhetoric to name just a few. One of the many strengths of the university is that we do not rely on graduate assistants to teach any of the courses offered; all of our classes are taught by qualified faculty.

When you enroll in the communication program, you are given an advisor who helps you navigate a thorough course of study from liberal studies to classes needed to fulfill the requirements in your major program area. All students begin their course of study in communication with basic concepts and progress to the more advanced course areas.

We offer more than 50 different courses from which your program can be built. Although many of the courses are of a hands-on skill nature, our faculty are also committed to helping you develop your intellectual, creative and professional expertise.

Our graduates possess valuable skills in both the human as well as the technological areas of communication.
