The Communication Department studies the phenomenon of human communication in all its aspects. We support a liberal arts approach to communication through scholarship, creative production, and teaching in three concentrations: communication science, media studies, and rhetorical studies. Our goal for undergraduate majors and minors is to prepare them for the responsibilities of citizenship and for the many career paths in which knowledge of communication is a critical asset. Our goal for our masters program is to provide the best possible preparation for advanced research and scholarship at the doctoral level

Vision Statement:

The Department envisions a School of Communication at Wake Forest, supporting centers of excellence that draw upon our curricular emphases in communication science, media studies, and rhetorical studies while promoting interdisciplinary applications and public service.
