The major in communication requires the study of core knowledge and skills running across communication fields while also allowing students a degree of specialization through individualized selection of nearly half of the major's required courses. Typically, students tend to focus on one of three primary areas: journalism, film and media study (including both scholarly and production courses), and business-oriented communication such as advertising and public relations.
