Communication is the most important activity in our lives.
The speech major in the Department of Fine Arts emphasizes communication as the foundation for all successful human activity. In other words, the objective is to make you an effective oral communicator. Improving your oral communication skills through the study of speech will make you a much more valuable and effective professional asset to your employer, community and nation. A major, co-major or minor in speech will prepare you for greater success, no matter what you choose as your profession or occupation. The recent reorganization of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville has relocated speech in the College of Liberal Arts and Education.
