Communication Studies
Program Goals
The faculty members of the
Communication Studies Department have identified four broad outcomes
for our students that our major curricula should foster. The most
essential abilities and skills that Communication Studies faculty
desire in their graduates are:
(1) proficiency in written
communication (the ability to write clearly and well);
(2) proficiency in oral
communication and public speaking;
(3) exposure to, and
understanding of, a wide range of communication theory;
and
(4) the ability to apply communication theory
and critical-thinking skills effectively to specific projects
and real-world situations.
These are the abilities and skills that the
department’s assessment plan is designed to assess, along with overall
student satisfaction with the Communication Studies learning
experience.
