The communication studies department is just the place to gain a solid background in writing and composition—as well as public speaking and oral communication.

Of course, strong writing and speaking skills are far more than tools for career success. When you can harness the power of communication, you can harness the power to change your workplace, your community and your world.

Small classes, strong student-run activities and conversations with faculty advisors in this close-knit department will challenge you. Excellent facilities, such as our brand new graphic design lab, will support you. And with our three new concentrations in journalism and mass communication, public relations, and rhetoric and public address, it will be easy to tailor your studies to a specific area of interest. At the Mount, you can build the foundation for success in publishing, public relations and journalism as well as politics, business and wherever your imagination may lead you.
