Courses at the College of Communication are designed to equip students with basic literacy to be full scale communication professionals, skilled training in storytelling, and acquaint themselves with tools applied in all kinds of communication platforms, such as words, pictures, images, sounds, music, and web pages. They are also expected to continue our tradition of improving knowledge in humanities and critical thinking beyond professional skills.
All non-major students must complete six College-required courses, three credits each. They can also choose elective courses among the Capacity Module, Humanity Module, Program Basics Module, and Integrated Module. The following is the list of course titles.
