Learning Outcomes

Graduating communication studies majors will be able to:

explain the significance of the communicative process (sender-message-receiver) across personal, familial, organizational, civic, and mediated contexts;

demonstrate effective written, oral, and/or digital communication skills;

conduct and summarize research from a wide range of sources;

use the tools of communication research (textual criticism, survey research, focus group research, experimentation, institutional analysis, and historical research) to examine original questions in communication studies;

articulate how major categories of human experience (race, gender, sexuality, community, nation, etc.) get produced, maintained, and transformed through communicative practices; and

apply and reflect upon the skills and theories of communication in work, volunteering, and community contexts.

The Bachelor of Arts with a major in communication studies requires a minimum of 120 s.h., including at least 39 s.h. of work for the major. Students must maintain a g.p.a. of at least 2.00 in all courses for the major and in all UI courses for the major. They also must complete the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences GE CLAS Core.

The curriculum is designed to encourage learning that progresses from foundation courses that teach the basics of communication to intermediate and advanced (capstone) courses. Students may choose to build creative combinations of course work that suit their individual learning and career goals.

Students may count up to 56 s.h. of Department of Communication Studies course work (prefix COMM) toward credit required for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Transfer courses may be applied toward the requirements of the major, with the department's approval. A maximum of 15 s.h. of transfer credit may be counted toward the major.

Communication studies graduates have numerous career options. The major provides solid preparation for employment in almost any job that requires effective critical thinking and communication skills. Graduates find work in fields such as the arts, entertainment, and media industries; consulting; sales and marketing; human resources; and public advocacy.
