Undergraduate
Curriculum
The curriculum in Communication contains
four types of courses.
- Performance courses feature the opportunity
for you to practice and master the art of effective communication. These
courses include COMM 100, 107, 125, 170, 200, 220, and 230. Typically,
you will take these courses prior to your declaration of a major in
Communication or early in your program since they are taught at the
freshman and sophomore level. A mastery of effective communication will
ground your more thorough knowledge developed in the major.
- Courses in the theory of communication
provide you practical knowledge about communication at work in society,
on the job, or in interpersonal relationships. These courses include
COMM 250, 324, 330, 383, 400, 401, 402, 420, 423, 424, 435, 450, 451,
453, 455, 470, 471, 472, 475, 476, 477, and 482. These courses provide
a different ability than the performance courses -- an ability to bring
knowledge to bear in analyzing and responding to the quality of communication
in your life.
- Courses that study communication in
the tradition of the humanities teach you an appreciation for the place
of communication in the making of our society. These courses include
324, 330, 360, 401, 450, 451, 453, 460, and 461. These courses provide
a third ability -- an ability to bring a critical and historical understanding
to your participation in public communication.
- Special opportunities are available
to complete your education. These courses include independent study
or research projects (COMM 489) that provide opportunities for more
detailed study with faculty from the department; honors study (COMM
399) for outstanding students seeking a special degree; and the Communication
Colloquium (COMM 478) that provides you the chance to hear leaders in
the study of human communication from throughout the country present
their work at College Park.
Your major will mix these various types
of courses. In fact, the major requirements limit the number of courses
of each type that you can apply toward the major. You should be certain
that you seek advising upon entering the major to locate a program of
courses that will satisfy the requirements.
