The ability to communicate with others is fundamental to all human activity.
Success in work and personal relationships depends on the ability to
understand others and to be understood. In fact, recent research shows that
communication skills are the most important factor in determining business
success. The Speech Communication Department focuses on human
interactions at the public, interpersonal, group, and organizational levels.
The program prepares you for a wide range of careers in business and
industry, educational, government, and service organizations. It is also
excellent preparation for law school, MBA programs, and other professional
degree programs. If you enjoy working with people, speech communication
may be just what you are looking for.
Students can earn credits for specific supervised communication projects in organizational settings through practicum courses, and every course taught in the department has project assignments where students put the theories they are learning into practice.
The department has long been recognized as a national leader in the development of communication practicums. We are one of only two communication departments in the nation named as a model program in human resource development by the American Society for Training and Development.
Teaching and advising are central to the department. Students matter, and you will work closely with a faculty that knows you and cares about you. Speech Communication majors are a small and supportive group who are learning and growing together. |
