Picture Yourself In Our Major

Communication is how we form relationships, develop creative ideas, share experiences, and make connections with others. Explore this central and complex part of the human condition across two main specializations: Interpersonal/Organizational Communication or Rhetoric and Cultural Criticism.

From intimate interpersonal settings, to mass-mediated public discourse, you will focus on the rich complexity of our lived experiences, created by and represented through communication.
