The BA in Communication Studies is an interdisciplinary degree that allows students to investigate communication processes and effects from a variety of perspectives. Students receive a broad-based liberal arts education through a series of courses that offers significant opportunities for selecting classes to meet individual interests and needs.

The BA degree provides students with a solid understanding of communication technology, theory, and research methods as part of a common 15 credit core. In addition, students complete a 30 credit option in either Film and Media Studies or Professional Communication.

The Capstone Senior Project or Capstone Internship offers students a capstone opportunity to demonstrate their grasp of communication theory and application in relation to their primary areas of study. A minimum of 24 credits in the major must be at the 3000/4000 level.
