About the School of Communication:
Have you wondered how to improve your relationship with your friends, family members, or co-workers? Have you envisioned yourself being a conflict mediator or communication manager? Have you dreamed of being a public relation or advertising professional, or a journalist? Have you imagined yourself being a film or television producer or the master of new media technologies? If your answer to one of these questions is "yes", please come and join us.
Communication is the discipline that helps improve your life as a private individual, a citizen, and a professional in an increasingly diverse society. As a social scientific discipline, communication offers you knowledge about human interaction in various contexts from interpersonal relationship, organization to community and from face-to-face to communication technologies. As a practical discipline, communication provides you with the skill sets critical to your life and career success; skills such as negotiation, presentation, persuasion, critical thinking, and media technologies.
We invite you to learn more about our school and see how we can help achieve your dream!
