The Department of Communication and Media offers five majors: Advertising/Public Relations, Business Communication, Communication, (communication leadership and communication & the law), Journalism & Electronic Media (newspaper, radio, film, television and online media), and Social Media Strategies. Students within the department are also eligible to be considered for the Accelerated CAS Bachelor’s/M.B.A. Program , which is detailed in the Graduate Studies Catalog. The Department also offers minors in Business Communication, Communication, Film Production, Social Media Strategies, and Sports Communication.

The Communication and Media Department prepares students for professional careers as well as advanced studies. Students who major in communication fields become knowledgeable about the subject matter from both humanities and social science perspectives. They also have opportunities to acquire on-the-job experiences through high impact experiential- and service-learning experiences and internships and learning experiences. In addition, courses are designed to serve students in other departments of the University by developing their oral and written communication skills.
