Communication

A Bachelor of Science in Communication prepares you for career opportunities as a communication specialist in organizations, corporations, and public service. Additionally, the degree allows you to specialize in research as you prepare for graduate studies or law school.
The BS in Communication provides an understanding of communication processes with an emphasis on how communication affects relationships across societal contexts. You will gain an understanding of the processes of human communication which shape relationships, groups and organizations; persuade and entertain individuals; and that influence public opinion, media use, attitude and behavioral change. There is a strong focus on research and theory. You can use this training to assume leadership positions in non-profit, government, and industry sectors as well as prepare for law school, graduate work or professions with a strong research emphasis.

In most of the classes you take, there will be real-world application. In Interpersonal you’ll examine your relationships, in Nonverbal you’ll design the ideal dorm lobby, in PR you will actually create a plan for a local Nampa business, and in Intercultural you’ll learn to communicate with those who were raised much differently, only to realize how similar you really are. Finally, in Senior Project you decide what all of your learning really meant to you, and how you can use it to give back. It’s a personal and practical journey.
