पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program is designed to provide multiple levels of knowledge of communication. The strength of a communication major resides in an understanding of the place of communication in humanity and in a fully developed ability to participate effectively and responsibly in communicating with others. The student’s education in communication will go beyond performance courses that teach the skills of speaking into courses that explore our knowledge of communication in business, government, and other human institutions and relationships. Few choices of major afford such vital knowledge in preparing for a career. In many professions, employers praise the ability to communicate as central to an effective employee. As a result, the majors move rapidly into a broad range of careers. The Department of Communication offers students four tracks of study: communication studies, public relations, rhetoric and political culture, and social influence.
