Communication & Dramatic Arts

This department consists of three options: communication, speech pathology and audiology, and dramatic arts. Each area has its own unique course of study. Together, the areas comprise a department that can address the complex nature of oral communication in its various forms.

• Making presentations at professional conferences;
• Editing or writing for the student newspaper, the AUMNIBUS, or student literary magazine, Filibuster;
