A-State Communication Studies

The Department of Communication Studies offers courses leading to a B.A. degree. Communication Studies focuses on the ways that people make use of both verbal and nonverbal messages to generate meanings within various contexts, cultures, and media. Since 75% of a person's day is spent communicating in some way, the importance of being able to communicate clearly cannot be overemphasized. Communication skills are essential to personal satisfaction and academic success, as well as employment.
