Communication Studies majors are taught to apply communication history, theory, law, and principles to solve communication challenges. They will explore theoretical questions, such as why we communicate, what it means to be a good communicator, and how to practice the nuanced art of communication.
Students will develop speaking, writing and listening skills and prepare to become creative problem solvers in an ever-changing, always-on digital world. Our comprehensive curriculum offers a balanced combination of theory and practice, small class sizes, and tailored course-work in line with students’ career goals.
Small class sizes allow for meaningful academic advising from highly qualified faculty with extensive industry experience.
Students will gain hands-on professional industry experience in the hub of the communications industry, New York City. You will have the exciting opportunity to complete internships at PR firms, advertising agencies, non-profits, and a variety of organizations in New York and beyond.
