You will find the Department of Communication in its own building (C100)
 on the main Boise State University Campus
 north of the Student Union Building at the west end of the Appleton Tennis Center
or just east of the Albertson's Library (See Maps at the top of this page).
 

                                       Welcome!
     The Communication Discipline looks at how theories, philosophies, and the roles people assume,  operate in personal and public arenas. We study how people articulate their ideas, create and interpret meaning, interact, and produce and analyze messages both face to face and through the media.
     All programs emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, research, and independent scholarship.
 Issues of specific concern are cultural perception, social ethics, creativity, and freedom of expression. Most classes are speaking and/or writing-intensive, and all focus on the interdependence of theory and practice.  Students may enliven their learning through participation in the campus newspaper The Arbiter,  KBSU Radio,  Internships,
UTP - University Television Productions, Forensics - Intercollegiate Speech and Debate,
and Mediation Services.
     Students are encouraged to participate in internships and practica. A total of 6 credits from internships and practica may count toward departmental major requirements; additional credits may count toward general education electives. The work of many students participating in these activities has been recognized through national awards.

Admission to the Department of Communication is an uncomplicated process.  You need only register for classes through the University's Registrar's Office, which is located in the Administration Building or by following this link to http://admissions.boisestate.edu/
