The BA in Communication program offers specializations in Broadcast Communication, Journalism, and Speech Communication. The program allows the three disciplines to share a core curriculum, thus providing a basis for the discussion of affinities in their substantive concerns, conceptual frameworks, methodologies and objectives. The concentration courses give the program a focus, while the option to minor in one of three areas (Journalism, Speech Communication, or Broadcast Communication) provides opportunities not only for developing other skills but also for further exploring the interrelatedness of the communication disciplines.
