Communication studies is among the most popular and fastest-growing majors at colleges and universities across the country.

Equipping students with such essential and transferable skills uniquely positions graduates to succeed in the rapidly changing, global information landscape of the 21st century.

The Department of Communication Studies at Texas Tech is committed to enriching and enhancing all aspects of students? lives: personal, professional, and public. Toward that end, it fosters a welcoming, community-centered environment. The Department features an array of award-winning teachers who are passionate, supportive, and inspiring.

The Communication Literacy plan for the B.A. in Communication Studies seeks to strike a balance between promoting an understanding of how communication works in specific contexts (theory) and practical skills development (practice). To achieve this crucial balance of theory and practice, the department has constructed a four-class cluster (12 credits) that promotes a critical understanding of communication in specific contexts along with basic skills development in oral and written communication.
