Communication
The ability to communicate clearly, eloquently, and effectively has been the hallmark of an educated person since the beginning of recorded history. The study of communication explores the process of human interaction in interpersonal, intercultural, and political contexts. Through research and theory-building, communications majors seek to interpret how individuals use symbols to understand and act within their environment.
A bachelor's degree in communication offers flexibility in career options. Those hoping to enter the fields of human relations, business, communication management, public policy and administration, or the media would find a communications background especially helpful.
