Licence ès Lettres - Études en Communication

The Department of Communication Studies seeks to engage students and members of the TCNJ community to study human communication in its many forms. Working within a framework of three departmental specializations—Public and Mass Communication, Radio/TV/Film, and Interpersonal/Organizational Communication— along with an interdisciplinary concentration in Health Communication and a close partnership with the Public Health major, the department excels in its dedication to undergraduate teaching and student scholarship. Core departmental and disciplinary values include inclusiveness, intellectual curiosity, written and oral fluency, visual literacy, technical mastery, and the appreciation of the transformative power of language, film and other media.
