Houghton's Communication Program
Communication is a vital task of being human. How we communicate shapes who we are. Our postmodern, digital, media-saturated age demands that we view the interaction between language, technology, and images in new ways.
A degree in communication from Houghton College helps students answer important questions: What do we have to say to one another? And how should we say it?
Studying communication at Houghton challenges assumptions about the fabric of culture. The communication major is an interdisciplinary program focusing on helping students become competent communicators. This involves the ability to analyze messages in both personal and public contexts, to recognize and choose among the various communication strategies that are available, and to use language and images to create messages that are sensitive to the audience and that help to solve real world problems.
