Communication Click a word in the logo above to move through our site.
Communication involves the study of messages and their meaning.
The basic premise of the communication program at Hanover College is that our interactions begin and end with the message and its meaning. From that standpoint, the communication program stresses understanding the elements of the interaction between, and the perceptions of messages and their meanings. Because messages occur through a variety of means, this program rests on a combination of theory, mass media, and rhetoric courses . This allows the students to understand the significance and techniques for generating meaning through messages across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media. Students may focus on mass media, rhetoric and public address, or organizational communication.
