  communication Department mission  

The Department of Communication offers its students a foundation in communication theory, written and spoken communication, and practical applications of materials learned in class.

To assure that majors are prepared for graduate programs as well as for the workplace, students study a core curriculum that includes theory, public speaking, interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, group communication, media and society, and the ethics of communication. All students have at least one internship experience as part of their Communications major, providing opportunities to tie together the classroom and the world of work. The major is offered to both day and evening students. The Department also offers a minor in Communications. Communications students are encouraged to participate in the Mock Trial Team, The Concord (student newspaper), The Lance (yearbook), Ariel (literary magazine), BU Radio, The Bellarmine Film Association, and other campus activities. The Department of Communication has a chapter of Lambda Pi Eta, the undergraduate national honor society affiliated with the National Communication Association. Juniors and seniors who meet the requirements are invited to participate.
