Each major concentration has its own set of required and elective classes. These are geared to provide students with the more specific skills and perspectives needed on their journeys towards establishing their desired professional careers and improving their communities.

Students typically declare a concentration by their junior year, so there is time at the start to try out the different concentrations. To get a taste of PR, you could enroll in Principles of Public Relations. Video Production I would be a great way to check out Media Arts, and Journalism I would be a good way to sample Journalism, while Intercultural Communication would be a great option for students interested in getting a feel for Communication and Culture.
Students may also elect to complete a minor in communication to explore an area of the discipline in depth and to build specific communication skills.
The department also offers a minor in film studies and hosts interdisciplinary programs that allow students to explore flim from a variety of perspectives.
