Communication Studies
How do humans share thoughts and ideas, and how does society shape the meaning of those messages? Communication Studies examines the creation, delivery, and receipt of messages in a range of settings, from private conversations to mass media to the workplace, where effective communication skills are prized.
Occupations
While the format and medium may change, clear, effective communication is always in demand. Communication Studies graduates can embark on careers in a variety of settings in the private and public sectors, as well as pursuing further study in areas such as linguistics, ethnic studies, or social work.
