School/College
College of Arts & SciencesAs students of communication, we study messages. Specifically, we examine the verbal and nonverbal messages that people exchange in various settings. These contexts include organizations, families, relationships, healthcare settings, and the media. Though we have communicated our entire lives, it is less common for us to think about how we communicate, why we communicate, and the effects of our communication. Exploring the how, the why, and the effects of messages will be the main theme of your coursework at ¹ú²úÉ«ÇéƬ.
Accelerated BA/MA Program
The College of Arts and Sciences’ accelerated BA/MA in Communication program gives qualified undergraduate students the opportunity to earn both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in as few as five years. This accelerated pathway allows undergraduate students to transition directly into the communication master’s program upon graduation, and earn a graduate degree in less time and at potentially less cost than when done separately.
Students who chose to pursue this pathway will work with their undergraduate advisor to follow a specific sequence of study before matriculating as a graduate student and completing their master’s degree.
