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.

Department Highlights

  1. Coursework analyzes the role of communication in society from multiple angles. Students learn how to understand others, select words carefully, and use media effectively.

  2. Design and video production are emphasized in coursework. Students have the opportunity to conduct presentations for off-campus audiences, as well as collaborate on design projects with local businesses. This teaches them useful visual-communication skills.

  3. Students develop strong English skills through small, multimedia-rich, computer intensive courses. Additionally, students learn in depth about the history, culture, and background surrounding the language.
