Communication Majors & Minors
To truly impact the world around you with communication, you need to experience what you are studying in an up-close and personal way. That’s why practical learning is built into our curriculum.
Practical learning is built into our curriculum, and real-world opportunities are the standard. Your classroom curriculum will equip you with foundational theories in persuasion, mass communication, social media, the rhetoric of race, and more. Meanwhile, you’ll gain hands-on practice implementing these ideas across other departments, internships, and coursework.
Opportunities to learn in the field are widely available for HU students. Internships, practicum experiences, student worker positions, and interning with local media outlets are among some of these opportunities. Whether you’re interested in blogging, podcasting about current events, or beat reporting, there’s something for you.
