Interdisciplinary Majors Westminster provides students with the opportunity to mix disciplines through interdisciplinary programs. These majors are a structured alternative to the conventional majors, allowing students to combine interests in more than one field for career options. The Department of Communication Studies, Theatre, and Art offers an interdisciplinary program in Public Relations, which consists of selected courses in Public Relations, Speech, Broadcast Communications, and Writing. The program gives a comprehensive education in a variety of communication skills, and is especially valuable for students who want to broaden their written and oral capacities.
Students can also develop their own individualized interdisciplinary majors to fit specific needs.
The challenges students encounter in the communication studies, theatre and art department pay off, and the department s graduates prove this claim to success. Alumni have established themselves in important careers and positions of leadership. Those who have gone into broadcasting hold positions as journalists, managers, and technicians.

Joan is a vice president for the Wall Street Fortune 500 firm, Salomon Brothers, and Jill runs a State Farm Insurance Agency.
