Communication, Minor

Communication engages students in the understanding and widespread appreciation of the importance of communication in public and private life, the application of competent communication to improve the quality of life and relationships, and the use of knowledge about communication to solve problems.

Communication for Non-Majors

Students accepted into the graduate programs in other departments may, if the major program allows and if approved by the department chair, select communication as a minor field of study. A minor in communication consists of nine or more semester hours of communication as approved by the graduate program coordinator. Also, communication may be selected and approved as an area of emphasis in Interdisciplinary Studies, MIS , and courses in communication may be chosen as electives by non-majors if course prerequisites have been met.
