This program has allowed me to pursue and learn more about the things I'm passionate about. Not only have I experienced diligent classroom learning, I have also been encouraged to explore the communications industry outside of the classroom. Each of my professors have enabled me to find something new to bring to the table everyday. I am so thankful I chose this major because of the many doors it has opened for me.
