- Description
- The Department of Communication Studies and Department of Theatre offer an interdisciplinary combined major that unites the practical skills and theories in communication studies with the artistic dimensions of theatre. The program provides both the creative study of theater performance, literature, playwriting, and directing with the ability to research and deliver a compelling speech and think critically and write effectively. The two disciplines unite in shared values of original personal expression, professional collaboration, and experiences in the cultural, social, and ethical impact of theatre as human communication.
