Through communication, humans structure their environment and determine the nature of their relationships with others. This major centers on the scientific study of communication, its processes and effects. Students may concentrate on interpersonal communication, social influence and persuasion, or the social effects of media and new information technologies. Because communication is the most basic social behavior and the means by which individuals function in society, its study is relevant to all academic and career interests. However, the major does not focus on specific skills training such as broadcast journalism or sports marketing. All students are admitted to the pre-communication major and may advance to the communication major upon satisfactory completion of college algebra, introduction to communication, and communication research methods and statistics.
