All students in the department of communication will be utilizing Power Macintosh computers in their writing, editing, reporting, radio and television, and multi-media courses.

In addition to the communication core, which is required of all department majors, each student selects one of six tracks. A student wishing a degree in journalism chooses either the news-editorial journalism track, the public relations, or multimedia communication track. A student wishing a degree in communication chooses either the business and professional communication track, the interpersonal communication track or the radio and television track. Majors may not take a second major, a second track, or a minor within the department.

Important Notes

• If a student receives a grade lower than C in a course required in a major or minor in the department of communication, the student must repeat the course.  The student must also repeat the course before enrolling in any course for which it is a prerequisite.
