The Department of Communication is dedicated to advancing knowledge about communication and its practice in society. The department examines how meaning is created and negotiated in human interaction to address the personal, professional, and public communication challenges and opportunities posed by 21st century life. Our students become leaders in private, public and civil sectors by developing a deep and practical appreciation of how communication shapes the world in which we live. Research from SC&Is renowned faculty experts examines the complexity of communication processes related to five focal areas: communication and technology, health communication, interpersonal communication, language and social interaction, and organizational communication. SC&Is students may also acquire knowledge and skills allowing them to pursue careers related to strategic communication and public relations, leadership, health and wellness, relational and family communication, and a range of other options.

Students who major in Communication at the School of Communication and Information (SC&I) often find they have been presented with a unique, distinctive opportunity. Students have the opportunity to study in one of the few places on earth where each can learn how to skillfully craft messages that capture the attention of national and local audiences, while immersed strategically at the intersection of two of the worlds largest communication markets New York and Philadelphia. Our Communication students gain this experience while being a part of Rutgers, one of the nations oldest and most distinguished universities.

There may be no better place to develop the talents to be skilled communicators - those who are expected to foster collaborative and civil discourse, cope with conflict, elicit and share information, and make clear and persuasive presentations of ideas and concerns.

Students who graduate with a SC&I Communication major will have the skills to clearly communicate in many work situations, as well as in civil society and personal relationships. Thats because our 36-credit undergraduate major in Communication trains students to engage practically and intellectually in the face of contemporary challenges.
