Come to USF and explore all aspects of communication, from the public practices of business, politics, and protest to the private interactions of family, friends, and strangers.
What Is Communication Studies?
Communication studies addresses the ways in which words, images, gestures, and symbols reflect and affect human behavior. At USF, we explore the many ways that communication can be used — and sometimes abused — to effect change in culture, law, politics, business, and every other realm in which people express themselves.
