The Department of Communication and Media Studies provides a unique oppor-
tunity for students to select a program of study which will enable them to fulfill
a variety of career aspirations.
The program in Communication Studies is concerned with the study of commu-
nication theory, substance, techniques, problems, and results. Communication is
viewed as a dynamic process to be approached as a social and behavioral science,
a humantistic study, and an aesthetic act.
Those pursuing careers in Communication Studies can select from several study
focuses: Public Relations/Corporate Communication, Media Management/
Production, Interpersonal/Relational Communication, and Rhetoric/Critical
Studies. Each program of study is tailor-made for the individual student and may
include courses in broadcast journalism, public speaking, organizational commu-
nication, public relations, persuasion, mass media, argumentation, radio, TV,
group interaction, or communication theory.
INTERNSHIP-FIELD STUDY
The Communication Studies program includes a number of internship field study
opportunities in special interest areas. Students may be granted from nine to fif-
teen hours of academic credit for participating in approved off-campus activities
in the field of communication. Internship opportunities are available in advertis-
ing, public relations, customer sales and service, publications, business/govern-
ment communications, journalism, radio and television.
