Our communication major reinforces Wittenberg's liberal arts mission rather than narrowly training a student for a particular career. Students will develop the capacities to recognize and evaluate underlying assumptions and values; to work effectively with others through collaboration, team work and community building; to participate in mediation and conflict resolution; to develop aural, visual, technological, and information literacy knowledge and skills that we believe are imperative for a quality life in the 21st century. Students will have the opportunities to apply their understandings of communication through courses or internships in areas such as journalism, marketing, advertising, computer imaging and photography. Their major will culminate in an individual capstone project during their senior year, for which they have prepared by taking courses in communication theory and research methods.
