Why Add a Communication Minor?
Whether you plan to spend your career behind a news desk, in a laboratory setting, or in an office at a major corporation, you’ll need to communicate ideas clearly and in an easy-to-understand way.
The courses required for the communication minor have been kept flexible to ensure that students of all academic backgrounds can gain the maximum benefits from the program. You will work closely with an advisor to tailor an academic plan that matches your major and career goals.
Match Your Courses to Your Interests
- Public policy: If you’re interested in becoming a public leader, consider taking “Race and Gender in the Media” to better understand how the media impacts public opinion. Communication and analytic skills are critical for graduates who hope to understand current social trends.
- Business: If you’re a business major, consider taking “Organizational Communication”
- Social science: If you are interested in the nuances of personal relationships, you would benefit from “Interpersonal Communication,” which offers an in-depth look at how person-to-person communication affects relationships and actions. This can enhance your ability to work effectively with both clients and co-workers.
