The Communication Studies Option is designed to provide students the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to effectively manage communication in their personal, professional, and public lives.  The program provides for both breadth of study in communication and depth in a particular area of specialty.  A Communication Studies graduate would be well prepared for positions in both the private and public sector, which have high communication demands, and where the use of sophisticated message strategies are necessary for success.
