Communication

Communication majors can take courses in both mass communication and public communication.

Students choose from two major areas of study with more specific options available in each area. All students take a core of common courses in their freshman and sophomore years and then concentrate on one or more of the specific emphases, including broadcasting, communication theory, media studies, print journalism, and public relations.

Communication majors are active in campus media, including the Collegiate Times, WUVT campus radio, VTTV, The Bugle yearbook, the photo staff, and several professional organizations.

The department has strong internship and co-op programs providing excellent opportunities for earning academic credit while gaining firsthand job experience.
