Ne öğreneceğim?

Communication studies examine the creation, expression, and analysis of messages in our personal, professional, and public lives. Knowledge of the field aids in students’ development of versatile and relevant social intelligence, critical thinking, and creative problem solving skills to achieve personal, professional and civic goals. Communication studies differ greatly from majors or fields of study that focus upon specific professions or occupations. Whereas those disciplines risk the possibility that student coursework may be either dated or irrelevant as students leave the university, Communication Studies majors possess the knowledge, skills, and abilities of resilient learners, collaborators, and problem solvers.

Communication studies students learn to manage message processes within and among individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. They explore verbal and nonverbal communication, organizational and business communication, rhetoric and criticism, argumentation and persuasion, and communication technology.
