Communication is a vital force in society.
New practices and techniques in communication require that instruction and research explain these phenomena and prepare students to take their place in this field. The curricula of the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Master of Arts in Communication. The school also participates in the university s interdisciplinary Ph.D. program. Students may major in advertising, broadcasting, broadcast management, communication studies, journalism, media and the law, or public relations. Students may also fashion a general communication curriculum.
