Why Study Communication?
With degree programs in journalism, speech and media production, the department reflects the convergence taking place in a fast-transforming media industry. At the undergraduate level, communication students learn about the relationship among journalism and democratic citizenship, the ethical problems associated with the practice of public relations, communication across the lifespan and other topics. At the master's level, students may explore issues such as the importance of community-based media, political speech writing or gender and violence. Students at the doctoral level focus on identity construction, media effects, international journalism or rhetorical studies.
