BAs in Communication. What do entrepreneur, lawyer, minister, social media manager, pharmaceutical regulations liaison, corporate trainer, videographer and client services all have in common? These are just a few of the many career paths our graduates have chosen. Choice is a wonderful thing. But, choice requires power. So where does the power of a communication studies degree come from? First, it comes from a fundamental need for great communication in everyday life. The ancient Greeks figured this out very early in their efforts to create democratic rule. Thus, arête, or the power to manage oneself well in public settings became a hallmark of a well-educated citizen. We embrace that goal today. Second, the power of a COM degree comes from the versatility we build into our curriculum. Our students learn to think strategically about communication. They become aware of the power of symbols to shape reality and grow in their ability to make effective and ethical arguments through whatever communication choices are available to them. This foundation is great for folks who know exactly what they want to do next... and is equally appropriate for those that have no idea what’s next! Finally, our curriculum embraces personal development as well as professional readiness. If you are going to become a powerful communicator it is also best if you become a good person.

BA in Global CommunicationsTechnology has made distance nearly irrelevant, the Internet a revolution. Rapid transformations now sweep societies: media converges, new cultural spaces and practices emerge, belief structures shift.The Department of Global Communications trains global citizens to understand and respond to these phenomena—and to play an active role. Students learn to think critically and creatively about the contemporary environment and to master communication in all its forms.An interdisciplinary approach in a global worldBecause global communications concerns the world, the field itself sits at the intersection of many: sociology, anthropology, politics, literature. How does mass media affect society? Do depictions of gender follow a pattern—and how can those patterns be changed? What are the implications of human-computer interactions? How do film and the written word explore different cultures—and what is the meaning of the messages they express?In an ever-changing, cross-cultural environment, our interdisciplinary approach draws on the strength of several disciplines. Students are exposed to both theory and practice, with a strong grounding in the field’s historical roots. Global communications serves as your gateway to the world.The power of political communicationIn addition to our already interdisciplinary nature, the Global Communications Department created a Comparative Political Communication minor to serve students interested in a more in-depth treatment of that important overlap. Power, political institutions, policy, the press—it’s rich terrain for exploration.Get in touchWe invite you to discover all of our majors and minors, explore our diverse course offerings, and meet our accomplished faculty.
