Department of Communication
|
|
The communication program,
which leads to a bachelor’s of science degree, consists of three components:
the communication core, a
major specialization, and a minor.
The
core courses in the program allow all majors to study the communication process
as it occurs in both face-to-face and mediated settings, while course work in
specialized area
Admission into the Department of Communication and continuation in a chosen specialization is subject to review by the department. Criteria include grade point average (GPA) as well as performance in the specialization. Overall GPA, performance in communication courses and related activities are taken into consideration. New department policies taking effect for the 2003-2004 academic year for incoming freshmen and transfer students will require that students receive at least a C- in every required course within their major. Students receiving a grade lower than a C- will have the opportunity to retake the course and replace the original grade. In addition, an overall GPA of 2.5 must be achieved in these courses, which differs from the SUNY Fredonia minimum of a 2.0 GPA.
Minor Requirement for Communication Majors All communication majors are required to complete a minor outside the
department. Minors, which typically
consist of 18 to 24 credits, require approval by the advisor in the minor
department. The specific criteria
vary with each program. Students do
not need to choose a minor immediately; however, they are encouraged to speak
with their faculty advisor, select a course of study, and begin accumulating
credits toward the minor by their junior year.
Minor in Communication A minor in communication
is also offered by the department.
