Academic Program
Communication (COM) encompasses all forms of human relationship, from dyads and small groups to formal organizations and society at large. Due to recent technological advances, telecommunication and information processing have also become fundamental to the understanding of an interdependent and information-intensive world.
The department faculty educate students in the social communication sciences. Faculty focus not only on interpersonal and intercultural communication, but on management and international communication, and telecommunication as well. Department resources include both a state-of-the-art media lab and a computer lab.
The department also offers an Internship Program for undergraduates.
