A minor in communication studies helps students develop the skills needed to express ideas clearly and confidently in a variety of settings. Through courses in public speaking, argumentation and debate, and performance-based areas such as oral interpretation, stagecraft, and directing, students learn how to adapt their communication style for different audiences and purposes. The program also encourages exploration of communication as a field of study, including opportunities to engage with research on topics like nonverbal communication and human interaction. Designed to complement any major, this minor prepares students to communicate effectively in academic, professional, and creative contexts.
