Undergraduate Study in the Department of Communication

Curricular revisions are underway to achieve greater departmental integration and to ensure that all Communication majors are knowledgeable about all key areas of the discipline. Students can make more informed choices regarding their choice of major after successful completion of the pre-major requirements. These requirements apply to students entering Miami in the fall of 2003. Current MU students who wish to change their major to COM must abandon their old entering year bulletin requirements and accept the new requirements.

Students may choose to major in Mass Communication, Speech Communication, or Strategic Communication. Additionally, the Speech Communication major allows students the option of focusing on organizational communication, interpersonal and relational communication, and rhetorical influence.
