Communication Studies
Minor in the Moody College of Communication

The communication studies minor affords undergraduate students across the university the opportunity to increase their skills in communication, particularly in the areas of organizational, interpersonal, and rhetorical communication. In addition, students study the foundations of public speaking, verbal and non-verbal communication, and intercultural communication as well as learn techniques to approach ethical dilemmas within the field of communication.

Each student is encouraged to decide what that career path may be through internships, career exploration, and interaction with faculty.
