School of Communication

Humanities and Social Sciences

Whether you wish to become a filmmaker, a performing artist, a writer or journalist, a manager or advertising/public relations professional, or a speech and hearing clinician - no matter the communication profession you are preparing for, your undergraduate education will be greatly enriched by coursework in the liberal arts. History courses will provide you with valuable insight on events that have shaped human civilization, the explanations for why events transpired the way they did, and the methods that historians use in studying the past. Courses in political science and sociology will help you see and understand the many forces that shape our lives today, such as government policies and structure, ethnic and race relations, patterns of migration and immigration, and the like. Psychology offers you a perspective on motivation, group dynamics, and information processing.  And the study of philosophy and religion will enable you to articulate your own sense of ethics and values within the context of formal philosophical frameworks, and develop an appreciation for worldviews that may be different from yours.

The School of Communication enables undergraduate students to complete their General Education requirements with courses drawn from the following disciplines:
