Communication Minor

Affiliation: School of Social & Cultural Studies, Department of Communication

Students in the Communication minor will complete foundational courses that focus on the principal theories, methods, and practices central to both the discipline and communication competence. In those foundational courses, the focus is on the development of speaking, writing, and critical thinking skills. Students will also choose among higher-level courses where the communication principles from foundational courses are applied in different contexts. These courses take a problem-solving approach to learning while students learn more advanced theories, methods, and practices.

For entry into the Communication Minor, the student must have completed the Public Speaking Essential Skills Requirement.
