We are one of the fastest growing undergraduate majors at the University of North Texas. In fact, over the past five years, the number of Communication Studies undergraduate majors has dramatically increased! Our program’s growth is at least partly due to students recognizing the value of a degree constructed on a strong liberal arts foundation that equips them with the practical and theoretical knowledge for the 21st century workplace. A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers identified the top four skills employers are seeking; these include the ability to communicate verbally with people inside and external to the organization, to solve problems, to work in teams, and to make decisions. These skills represent much of the foundation on which our program is built.
