CMST 201 - Introduction to Communication Studies


Credits: 3

This course is designed to introduce students to the academic discipline of Communication Studies. For decades, Communication Studies has been mistaken as a discipline that focuses solely on presentational speaking, speechmaking, and public address. However, these elements within CMST represent only a small fraction of the discipline. This course will be an exploration of all the major areas of the field, the history of CMST as a discipline, the research and writing style associated with CMST, the practical and theoretical tools expected of CMST graduates, and the many careers CMST graduates can explore.
