Licence ès Lettres - Communication

As a Whitworth communication major, you will explore a variety of areas of communication, from interpersonal communication to mass communication. You will learn effective communication strategies through a combination of speech and journalism courses and will put them into practice in ways that interest you. Options for hands-on learning are abundant and include internships, student media, research and debate.

The major will ultimately equip you to listen empathetically, write compellingly, analyze insightfully and speak persuasively – all skills that will help you grow in a career and in life.
