Communication

Communication Studies and Communication Sciences and Disorders

In an age of unprecedented technological change, a knowledge of the nature of human discourse and the dynamics of effective communication is essential. It is through human communication that we form values, solve problems, and acquire our personal integrity, knowledge, and respect for others. The Department of Communication at The College of Wooster offers two distinctly different majors: communication studies and communication sciences and disorders.

Communication studies provides a foundation for students with an interest in such fields as broadcasting, public relations, education, business, counseling, and public service, as well as preparation for graduate studies in law and other disciplines.

Communication sciences and disorders prepares students for graduate or pre-professional work in clinical speech, language, and hearing therapy.
