The Department of Communication is located in the College of Liberal Arts at Middle Tennessee State University. MTSU’s program is student-centered with small classes and personal advising. Communication Studies offers flexibility in career choices as well as the opportunity for personal development. Our courses focus on developing strong interpersonal skills, knowledge of diverse cultures, improved problem-solving abilities, and the ability to work well in a group as both member and leader. Students can earn a BS or a BA in Communication with concentrations in Organizational Communication, Culture and Social Influence, or Integrated Communication. We will also be launching a Health Communication track in Fall 2020. We have a dynamic and growing faculty that includes 14 tenured/tenure track professors and 12 lecturers. The faculty are not only dedicated teachers, but have vibrant research agendas in the areas of rhetorical, organizational, interpersonal, intercultural, and health communication.
