Description
Communication affects everything we know, or think we know, about ourselves and our society. The major and minor in Mass Communication help students become informed consumers of news and information, and more effective communicators. Students develop an awareness of mass communication as a discipline and expand their understanding of mass media and media systems. The skills and knowledge they gain complement any academic field or profession, and demonstrate to prospective employers their proficiency in a highly desired area.
