The CTA department is composed of three related degree programs: Communication (COM), Mass Media (MMC), and Theatre Arts (THA). Each of these areas offers the Bachelor of Arts degree as well as minors. The department also offers a minor in Dance. The goal of the Department of Communication and Theatre Arts is to promote the study and use of communication in all its varying forms as an essential ingredient in determining the quality of life. Additional goals are to prepare students for graduate study and to encourage students to explore a wide range of professional opportunities. Human communication is not a single discipline, but a complex, dynamic field. The department offers coursework and co-curricular activities designed to promote the understanding, practice, and enhancement of human communication. The setting may be in a variety of situations: the classroom, the theatre, the dance floor, the broadcast studio, the newsroom or the boardroom. What can you do with a degree from our department? |
