Whether you're working toward a career in communication or media studies, or you want to improve your communication skills in preparation for a career in another field, the Communication and Media Studies Department can help.

The department offers a variety of courses to suit your needs. Many classes involve service learning, so students get hands-on experience working with individuals and organizations on campus and in the community.

The department also supports a number of student organizations that can help you get the professional experience you need to hit the ground running when you graduate.
