WSU COMM Story

Shannon Cullinane, Class of 2016

Students typically declare a concentration by their junior year, so there is time at the start to try out the different concentrations. To get a taste of PR, you could enroll in Principles of Public Relations. Video Production I would be a great way to check out Media Arts, and Journalism I would be a good way to sample Journalism, while Intercultural Communication would be a great option for students interested in getting a feel for Communication and Culture.

Students may also elect to complete a minor in communication to explore an area of the discipline in depth and to build specific communication skills.
