Communication and Media Student Testimonials

My degree has taught me how to be an effective and purposeful communicator. Learning how to communicate with people by taking into consideration their different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds has helped me indefinitely throughout my career and my relationships. 

Philip was also the student graduation speaker for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences in 2022.

I am grateful for all the support from the department and thanks to the professors with whom I made strong connections in their courses.

Their teachings and character will forever impact my future.  

"The Communication Studies Department comprises a dedicated team of faculty and staff who work cohesively to support the learning goals of students. The program is rich and diverse in terms of the courses offered. One of my favorite courses is Advanced Public Communication. Since taking this course, I have grown leaps and bounds in my ability to present to public audiences of various sizes. Overall, my curricular and extra-curricular activities have been varied and diverse."

"In my opinion what makes the Communication Studies Department so special is the attention to detail the professors give you. They have always made themselves available for questions and help. I have gained the experience to challenge my research. Then on top of that, they have helped me organize my information to be able to present it to anyone."

"In my opinion, I think what makes the Communication Studies Department special is that students who are feeling lost in their career plans can come to the program and begin to find a career path with the guidance and support of the faculty in the department."
