Communication Studies equips students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to observe, interpret, and evaluate communication behaviors and processes. This course of study supports Morehouse’s mission to produce leaders. Effective leadership skills are dependent upon mastery of effective communication strategies.

Communication is primarily a social process used in personal, social, political, academic, and professional contexts, making the study of communication theory and behavior critical to personal, social, and professional success. The Communication Studies program prepares students for careers in public relations, advertising, corporate communications, politics, social activism, business, law, education, government, sociology, medicine, the arts, among others.

Communication Studies students hone skills in various areas of human communication, critical thinking, and academic, professional, and creative writing, to name a few. Students in this program build a solid foundation for success in graduate and professional education.
