The communication major is offered by the Department of Organizational Sciences and Communication. Students are accepted as communication majors through a selective application process. Students are encouraged to apply during the first semester, or early in the second semester, of their sophomore year. Applications are not accepted from students with more than 75 credit hours. A student may apply no more than twice to the major. Minimum requirements for admission include a GPA of 3.3 and completion of, or current enrollment in, one of three courses: Comm 25, 40, or 41. Achievement of the minimum GPA does not guarantee admission to the major, because the acceptance process is selective. Application forms and the Student Handbook for Communication Majors, which provides additional information about the major, including the application process, are available in the program office.
