Established in 1963, the Department of Communication Studies at San José State University has over 450 students in the major, 70 students minoring in communication, 60 students in the graduate program, and 50 faculty. The B.A. and M.A. programs focus on four primary areas or cornerstones: democracy, diversity, technology, and globalization.
Democracy - affirms the balance of individual freedom and socio-political consensus shaped through dialogue, argument, and persuasion between individuals and groups.
Diversity - explores the variety and complexity of communication efforts to shape beliefs, values, and perceptions in different communities and cultures.
Technology - interrogates the implications of human communication in a mediated world.
Globalization - recognizes the interconnectedness, integration, fragmentation, and conflict within human societies and cultures in global contexts.
Join us in the conversation about these key areas of the human experience - your experience. Sign up for a class, talk with an instructor, attend a workshop - Listen • Speak • Engage!
