• Communication is an interdisciplinary field that draws from the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. 
  • The undergraduate Communication program focuses on the theoretical, critical, and empirical examination of fundamental communication systems, institutions, processes, and effects.
  • Comm majors gain deep insight into how communication shapes our individual and collective social, political, economic, and cultural lives both historical and contemporary, local and global.
  • Our majors learn and employ a range of theories and research methods, including quantitative approaches such as survey research, experiments, content analysis, and computational science; and qualitative approaches such as historical, textual and discourse analysis, focus groups, and ethnographic fieldwork.
