Communication is the art that is most essential to the continuing progress of civilization.
The cave paintings in France, the symbols found in the pyramids, the Dead Sea scrolls, the totems of the Northeast Indians, all have something in common with our written works, radio, video, film, paintings, sculpture, dance and music. They are all part of the communications process and they all require interpretation. At the outset, the Department of Communications curriculum delves into the history and aesthetics of this fascinating subject. History of Cinema I and II , History of Media and Communications , and New Communications Technology are an indication of the courses that chart the progress of communications. Communication Theory , Communication and Behavior and Issues in Media Studies continue to instruct in the understanding of media and its affect on humanity.
