The Department of Communication and Theatre Arts’ mission is to build and advance students’ knowledge of communication and performance in multiple contexts. The goal is to affirm creative and critical thinking in an increasingly media driven world. The Department supports and enhances students’ roles as citizens, advocates, speakers, listeners, audience, and performers of critical thought through creative work. The Department empowers students to understand the interconnected nature of information through independent and group projects at ever-increasing levels of sophistication.
