Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Media and Politics

International Communication

Excellence in communication contributes to success in all aspects of personal, professional and civic life. Citizens of the 21st century must understand the communication opportunities, obligations and risks that emerge in an era of cultural diversity and conflict. Politicians, leaders, consultants, activists and indeed all citizens use communication to affect public opinion, mobilize interest groups, negotiate policy and maintain relations with people from other cultures.

The major in Communication, Media and Politics (CMP) promotes the knowledge, criticism and practical application of communication by offering students both the theoretical foundation necessary for understanding the role of communication in a diverse society and intensive practice in creating and presenting messages on various delivery platforms to a variety of audiences.

The Communication, Media and Politics major is intended for students who are interested in positions of leadership in civic life, whether in government, public service, educational or cultural institutions, non-governmental organizations or social advocacy groups. CMP is also an excellent major for students preparing for law school or for graduate school in communication or public affairs.
