Program
Although everyone is born with the means to communicate, communication ability, like any talent, must be developed. The communication curriculum at Aquinas was designed with that in mind.
Classes demand thoughtful inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving skills and active participation. Communication one of the fastest growing disciplines at Aquinas.
 
Faculty
The experienced communication professionals on the faculty have backgrounds in family studies, personal and health connections, and sociology. They are dedicated to assisting students in valuing and practicing effective human communication. They encourage students to advance toward intellectual independence and forceful expression.
 
Senior Thesis
At Aquinas, communication and interdisciplinary communication majors complete a senior thesis project through CN406 (Advanced Communication Theory) and CN 498 (Research Methods). The project involves original research, data analysis and professional presentation to fellow students and communication faculty. This project prepares students for graduate school or a career involving community outreach.
