The Communication Minor equips students with essential skills for effective interaction in any setting. You'll learn to write and listen effectively, deliver impactful presentations, and understand the profound role of communication in various contexts. This minor also delves into key communication theories and models, and provides a strong grasp of mass media concepts and practices.

This minor complements any major, enhancing your ability to connect, persuade, and understand complex information across disciplines.
