Communication Studies
Today’s world demands professionals who can communicate clearly and work effectively with others. At MSU Moorhead, you'll learn to evaluate messages and make decisions based on what is seen and heard, with a heavy focus on development of interpersonal, group and team communication. MSUM's Communication Studies major will help you perfect these skills and find success in your career, community and personal relationships.
With two unique emphases, you’re able to focus your studies on the area of communication that interests you most.
Experienced, engaged professors teach from personal practice in the field and are actively engaged in service in their community and research in their field.
Experiential learning through applied projects in your classes enables you to become connected in the Fargo-Moorhead community through service, research and events.
A small student-to-faculty ratio means you’ll get to know your professors on a first-name basis. They’ll become just as invested in your future as you are.
