Our full time faculty are joined by visiting lecturers who are devoted to our students, our college and our field. We are indeed fortunate to have such a dedicated group of adjuncts.

The Communication Studies courses provide both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in a variety of communication venues. As a Communication Studies major, you have a number of options. From our vast array of courses, you can concentrate in Mass Communication, Organizational Communication, Public Relations or Communication Studies. You can also take courses in all four concentration areas and come away with a true generalist background. If you are studying to be a teacher, you can also concentrate in the Certification for Speech, Theatre and Dance.
