The Communication major, a liberal arts program, aims first to produce graduates who are complete, competent individuals, prepared to live a rich and full life and who:

• understand communication processes
• can write and speak with precision and power
• can think about problems clearly
• are well-informed about the world and know how to obtain needed information
• have insight into audiences and how they can be reached and affected by various kinds of messages through various media
• are familiar with the technology so important to communication today, and
• are knowledgeable about the communication field and its associated industries.

Our graduates are also expected to have pondered what it means to be an ethical communicator, and considered how to use their skills to help others. In other words, we expect them to be the kind of person much in demand in the job market, in church, and in society.
