Degree Requirements

Students choosing this option must also prepare a path statement. This path statement must be approved by the chair of Communication Studies no later than the first semester of the junior year.

Students are responsible for reading course descriptions when choosing classes for their self-designed major.

Requesting permission is not a guarantee of being granted permission
