ACADEMICS
Everyone at the School of Communication is looking forward to helping you start your academic career. Throughout our school’s history, we’ve prepared many generations of leaders in the communication arts and sciences — and we continue to encourage students to follow their passions through an exciting curriculum.
Working with faculty both in and out of class, you’ll benefit from being part of a community of artists and scholars that is both challenging and nurturing. Each of our school’s five departments ranks at the top of its discipline, and each curriculum provides opportunities for you to apply theories, criticism, and research in performance and practice.
Our comprehensive program is also interdisciplinary. For example, you can combine study of the entertainment industry or telecommunications policy with directing, screenwriting, or acting – or combine mastery of dance, filmmaking, or interactive media with studies of children’s growth or community organizations. The possibilities are all up to you!
As a new SoC student, you already know your major – now feel free to further investigate our programs of study via the links below, including opportunities for supplementing your major with a minor or certificate program. Once you arrive here in mid-September for our fun-filled new student week (which takes place prior to other students returning to campus), you’ll be able to explore more specific courses available to you and enroll in your first quarter classes.
