|   |  |  | Welcome to 
		Communication Studies!     
			
				|  | The 
					Department of Communication Studies (COMM) offers a
			major that focuses on
			human communication 
					in the widest variety of settings - whether face to face or through 
					media, for professional success or personal enrichment. 
 The Communication Studies major stresses general knowledge of 
					the field and development of the skills that lead to 
		effective personal and professional application of knowledge.
 
 In 
					addition to coursework, internships and practical experience 
					in the major field, 
					the Communication student will learn the 
					interrelationship of elements involved in all successful 
					communication exchanges-- e.g., audience analysis, 
					message content, delivery options/medium and context.
 
 COMM 
					majors may work in business and 
					organizational 
					leadership, public relations, in 
					journalism or radio 
					and television, in corporate training, in education,  
					(to name only a few career opportunities); all of these involve the 
					need to understand and develop useful communication 
					strategies.
