Department of Communication
Striving to become masters of communication equipped to handle an information-rich, global world. We produce individuals with true communication skills - simply put, the ability to decipher information, express oneself clearly, build meaningful relationships with others, and utilize these skills in the work force. The Department of Communication has two options: the “Media and Communication” option which focuses on understanding media, communication, and enhancing expressive ability, and the “Global Communication” option which focuses on nurturing English language ability, a wide range of knowledge, and a global mindset.
