Welcome from the Director

You want to find a college or university that is right for you. Size, location, cost, residence halls and so much more are all factors. So is, of course, the academic program you are considering for your major. What is it like? What are the requirements, what courses are offered, and what is it like to be a student in that program?

Welcome to the School of Communication website, designed to not only give you the information you need to answer these questions, but to convey a feel for who we are as a community of students, faculty, and staff. With over 300 undergraduate majors and 30 to 40 graduate students, our student body is diverse, reflecting many interests and experiences and enabling you to meet and work with a variety of students. We are also able to offer an array of courses and opportunities. At the same time, we are smaller than many Schools of Communication, so you will not be just a number. Communication faculty, including your advisor, will know you and you will know other students in the program.

With the exception of our Introduction to Communication course, which combines a large lecture format with small discussion groups, our classes range in size from about 15 to 35, most having around 25 students. Classes of this size allow faculty members to know you as an individual and enable varied instruction, from class discussions to activities to projects.
