Communication Arts: Global Communication & Media

This recommended four-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within four years. These plans are the recommended sequences of courses. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized plan to complete their degree. This plan assumes that no developmental courses are required. If developmental courses are needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan and degree completion may take longer. Three writing intensive courses are required in the major and/or school core (examples are marked by WI designation in the plan below). Consult with your advisor for specific details.

NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2019-2020 academic year.

** This is temporary – since the Catalog had an error with Category 2. We will no longer have a 200-level HTC category. In order for us to have 15 courses in the major/concentration  curriculum, we are currently going to accept 2 courses in the 300-level HTC. Once the Theory course is launched, this will be revised again.
