Testimonial

ā€œI have enjoyed all of the communications I've taken thus far. I’m finding that the newly developed courses are doing a really good job at connecting real tasks from a communications career to what we're learning in class. The program also has great staff, and it's appreciated how invested in student success the program and its staff are.ā€ – Elyse Hinton, Communications student
