The Communication major prepares students for professional and personal
success. The organizational communication focus of the curriculum applies
to families, social groups, work or career contexts, governmental and
world affairs. The 30-31 hour major is designed to provide broad general
theory and skills for application in legal, corporate, and political arenas.
Students who want to pursue graduate or professional school are well prepared
to enter the most competitive programs. Students who take communication
courses are provided strong general education skills, as well as in-depth
information about the theory and practice of human communication. Three
courses are specifically identified to meet general
education requirements: CN 101 Principles & Practices of Human Communication,
CN 150 Public Speaking, and CN 241 Business & Professional Speaking.
Also, one CN 150 section is designated as appropriate for the Leadership
program, and other courses contain relevant content for students interested
in developing leadership skills. Of particular interest are CN 300 Organizational
Communication, CN 301 Advanced Organizational Communication, and CN 342
Small Group Communication. Courses are also being developed to support
the Masters of Liberal Studies degree.
