Communication Studies Minor

The minor in communication studies requires 21 credit hours including CMST 220 Interpersonal Communication (3 credits) , CMST 303 Organizational Communication (3 credits) , CMST 355 Culture and Communication (3 credits) , CMST 403 Communication Theories (3 credits)  , and three other CMST courses. Students must take CMST 101 Public Speaking - OC (3 credits)  or CMST 110 Introduction to Communication Studies - OC (3 credits)  to fulfill their oral communication general education requirement, but these courses cannot be used as one of the three CMST courses for the minor. It is the policy of the Communication Department that the courses offered by the department (CMST, COM, DFX, EMB, HCOM, JOU, POP, PRE courses) cannot be double counted toward the majors and minors in the department unless the required course is the only option.
