Our Department

Applied communication looks at how communication theory and principles can be used to better the communication that takes place in a variety of contexts. We focus primarily on interpersonal and organizational contexts. Students learn to “apply” theory to everyday situations in order to improve the communication within those situations.

Our curriculum is interactive in nature, with an emphasis on case studies and ethical communication across the curriculum, in order to help students understand how to use positive communication to make a difference in their personal and professional lives.
