Welcome to the Department of Communications

Teaching solid communication skills is at the heart of all our programs, whether you’ll be communicating through a news story, press release, website, on television or face-to-face. College Factual has ranked us No. 15 among the “Most Focused Communication & Media Studies Schools” in the nation. Niche ranked the department as the 7th best in Pennsylvania.

We offer several degree programs. Whichever area of communications interests you, we’ve got you covered.
