Communication

Communication is integral to the human condition. We live in a society that places a premium on the ability to communicate with others. Yet, the 21st century has ushered in a new era in the study of communication. Technology has shaped the way we interact with others for years to come. Learning the many ways people communicate and the consequences of individual actions are paramount in an ever-changing and dynamic culture.

The technology and information explosion that began in the last century continues to overwhelm us today. It is important for people to be able to locate credible data and understand the uncertainty of our knowledge base. Knowledge learned today may become obsolete tomorrow; therefore, understanding the process of research is critical to learning in the 21st century.  Students will find the elements of research and critical thinking embedded in all our communication courses.
