北卡萊羅納大學(xué)威明頓分校

The Department of Communication Studies is a group of teachers/scholars dedicated to several distinct purposes within the university and in various communities. Housed primarily in the social sciences, the department also recognizes, embraces, and represents the humanities and liberal arts roots and foundations of its discipline. Above all, our primary purpose is to provide our majors with an undergraduate degree program in which the philosophy, practice, criticism, and study of communication are emphasized and balanced. Specifically, we seek to integrate application with theory. Such integration makes our program well suited to preparing our students for both graduate education and professional careers.
