The Department of Communication and Media educates students to be ethical, analytical, and creative leaders in a multimedia and multicultural society. Providing a first-class liberal arts education to undergraduates, the COMM major is designed to help students become better consumers and producers of public information, strengthen their understanding of the role of communication in their personal, professional, and civic lives, and prepare them for private and public-sector leadership positions in communication-related and other fields.
  
To accomplish this, the communication and media program employs a flexible approach, exposing students to various branches such as advertising, journalism, public relations, and others. Laboratory courses sharpen students’ skills, lectures provide firm theoretical grounding, and internships enable students to view the profession from a variety of perspectives.

  • Academic excellence and student success
  • Ethical communication, professionalism and competency
  • Strong student-faculty relationship
  • Practical and hands-on learning
  • Continuous intellectual and professional growth for faculty and students
  • Service to students, college, university, and profession
  • Sustaining faculty excellence in research
