Welcome to the Communication and Media Studies Department!

The Communication and Media Studies is composed of three different majors - Communication Studies, Journalism and Marketing Communications. Our department fosters a dynamic learning environment where students explore the nature of human communication, societal structures, and cultural diversity. We emphasize critical thinking and practical skills that bring the outside world into your classroom, preparing you for successful careers in a rapidly evolving society. Through relevant coursework and immersive learning experiences, you'll gain a deep understanding of social issues, the complexities of communication through writing, speaking, and communicating your ideas through organizations. This knowledge, combined with the skills you develop within our supportive community, will help prepare you for a wide range of career paths in fields such as social media marketing, reporting, human resources, and many more.

The Communication and Media Studies office is open virtually when no one is here. If you have a specific question for a faculty or staff member, please contact that faculty member via email.

For general questions, please contact  the Department Chair Jennifer Willis-Rivera at jennifer.willis-rivera@uwrf.edu.
