Program Overview
Communication is part of everyday life and therefore, very important, but too often the experience of communication has become ordinary. Judson University’s communication studies major will help you recognize the means of communication as extraordinary gifts and become an extraordinary communicator.
The Communication Studies major combines aspects of many different fields–writing, literature, speaking, media studies–to provide students with a well-rounded focus in communication.
