Course DETAILS

  • Description

    Communication Studies as a field of inquiry is dedicated to the better understanding the various and complex processes through which human beings communicatively construct systems of meaning, institutional forms, and social realities. As a department, our guiding principle is that Communication Studies is a critical and creative activity in which the "everyday" objectivity of human meaning production is called into question, scrutinized, and transformed. The department carries out this activity by means of three principles that inform our modes of teaching, research, and service and that together constitute the philosophical foundation of our program. The three modes of enactment are Engagement, Creativity, and Critique. These three modes must be inseparably linked if they are to embody our fundamental commitment to the contention that ideas matter in shaping the possibilities for a better world. To sustain our commitment to any one of these modes, all three must be supported and embraced. Moreover, it is our belief that communication is the ideal locus at which these three commitments can be most effectively enacted.
