Speech Communication can be the ideal major for the student who is looking to build a successful career on a foundation of oral communication skills. Because this major is much more than ‘just giving speeches,’ the fields we study include Interpersonal Communication, Group Communication, Organizational Communication, and Intercultural Communication. There are also courses in specific subjects such as Legal Communication, Health Communication, Business Communication, Gender Communication, Mass Communication and Management Communication. Students with an interest in and talent for oral communication who have majored in Speech Communication have launched a variety of extraordinary careers.

Speech Communication offer a practical study of the principles and mechanisms of human interaction: How can the student be most persuasive? How can the student become an effective, respected leader? How can the student understand, avoid, and, when necessary, resolve conflict? More than persuasive leaders and successful peacemakers, we want our graduates to be members of society who are both productive and ethical. As such, the Speech Communication program grounds its challenging course of study in the Marianist traditions of integrity and community service.
