Human Communication

Human Communication focuses on the understanding, analysis, and application of the theories and research that are pertinent to spoken, symbolic transactions. This program is a liberal arts course of study; while it doesn't prepare students for a specific professional certification, it may prepare students for entry level positions as well as for post baccalaureate work audit, and it provides each student with three perspectives on communication and, then, allows the student to design in close consultation with the advisor a specific program tailored to his/her interests.
