The Department of Communication Studies provides an interdisciplinary environment in which students develop a comprehensive, critical awareness of communication and media.
As a program of study, we analyze the production and circulation of ideas and values and explore their relationship to social and cultural practices.
As faculty we help students acquire requisite tools of reflective inquiry, as well as verbal, written, and digital skills essential to effective, creative communication, and critical civic engagement.
As communication scholars we are collectively committed to historically informed, socially relevant research and pedagogy that addresses social relations of power.
