Liberal Arts: Global Communications Major

The Major in Global Communications trains students in a liberal arts tradition to think critically and creatively about the contemporary communications environment, which they experience as global citizens and, possibly, soon, as practitioners of professional communication. It provides students with substantive knowledge based on current research, with practical skills and analytical ability to understand (and play an active role in) the complex dynamics of communication at global, local, and individual levels.

Graduates of this major understand the huge and rapid trends and rifts appearing in societies as media converge, new cultural forms, practices, and spaces emerge, and belief structures shift.
