Bachelor of Arts in Communication
Description
The BA in Communication program provides students with a deeper understanding of the critical analytical frames in the field of communication. It offers specializations in Broadcast Communication, Journalism, or Speech Communication. The program allows these disciplines to share a core curriculum, providing a basis for the discussion of affinities in their substantive concerns, conceptual frameworks, methodologies and objectives. The concentration courses give the program a focus, while the option to minor in one of three areas (Broadcast Communication, Journalism, or Speech Communication), provide opportunities to develop skills and to explore the interrelatedness of the communication disciplines. Moreover, it aims to produce graduates who are creative, adaptive and innovative in the use of communication media while enunciating an ethical stance and communication accountability to raise social and cultural consciousness and responsiveness.
