Learn more about the Department of Communication!
The Department of Communication is committed to the full spectrum of research and teaching in the discipline of Communication. We offer undergraduate majors in Mass Communication and Speech Communication that lead to Bachelor's degrees. There are thirteen sequences in the two undergraduate majors and two post-baccalaureate certificate programs. We also offer Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Ph.D. degrees in Communication.
We are housed in the Language and Communication Building (LNCO), equipped with state-of-the art teaching and research facilities, including a telecommunication production facility, film and digital photography labs, web labs, print design labs, interaction labs, and two large, media presentation classrooms.
Undergraduate Program
The Department of Communication faculty provides a strong program of undergraduate education and advising. Four advisers provide how-to advising, coordinated through the office of the Academic Advisor. In addition, each Communication student is assigned a faculty mentor to contact regarding long-term career goals and ways that education outside the department can supplement study in Communication.
Graduate Program
We offer nationally-acclaimed Masters and Ph.D. courses of study in a breathtaking Mountain West location. The graduate program is noted for its close faculty-student interaction. Masters and Ph.D. students have great flexibility in designing, with their supervisory committees, their individual programs of study.
Certificate Programs
The Conflict Resolution Certificate Program is a two-semester class that teaches basic methods of conflict resolution and the communication skills required to use each method effectively.
The Integrated Marketing Communication Certificate Program is a post-baccalaureate program targeted to those who want to become able and knowledgeable marketing communication and promotion managers.
