Communications (Option)
Communications helps to prepare students for a long and satisfying career in a variety of fields. As an option, this program encourages you to take courses that will complement your major from another field, and help to develop durable and transferable skills—including creative and logical thinking, project management, teamwork, problem analysis, and clear and persuasive communication—that are prized by a variety of employers. You'll also have a chance to participate in the capstone course, which takes on a community-based research project.
An option is a 'mini-minor"—a set of courses in one discipline that can be completed in conjunction with any undergraduate degree program, allowing you to focus on an additional subject of interest.
