The Communication Studies program frequently offers students the opportunity to study abroad. These opportunities are available to both online and on-campus students.
Course Highlights
This summer students may take courses focusing on interpersonal communication and intercultural communication through CCSA, the Cooperative Center for Study Abroad. The Interpersonal Communication course in London will enhance relational communication skills. With opportunities to explore sites such as Hever Palace, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and Stratford-Upon-Avon, this diverse city is the perfect classroom for learning interpersonal communication concepts. The London Intercultural Experience: Communication, Competence, and Contexts is another course offered that will explore the culturally rich city of London and how this cultural diversity may impact communication processes. Intercultural communication skills will be developed as students visit the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the British Museum, and Shakespeare’s Globe Theater.
