In the Communication Studies Department at Eastern University, you'll learn the art and science of effective communication through interpersonal, strategic, journalistic, and digital media forms.

Here you'll join a caring community of peers and professors who are committed to keeping communication human. Communication kept human has the power to educate hearts, shift mindsets, and transform communities. 

If you are interested in crafting messages and telling stories with real social impact, our department will give you the opportunity. 

Here you will... 

• Get hands-on experience producing communication that impacts the lives of individuals, communities, organizations, and nations
• Grow personally and professionally through real-world projects and internship placements that prepare you for jobs in marketing communication, public relations, event management, social media, journalism, media production, and more
• Promote peace and justice in the workplace and world through ethical and responsible rhetorical and informative communication strategies

At Eastern, our students produce media and communication that is informed by our Christian faith and inclusive of all people of good will. Our faculty work side-by-side with students to create these messages and build a strong portfolio of their work. They do this while also engaging in their own academic research and media projects, of which many have won national awards. 

The Communication Studies Department is dedicated to helping you explore your ideas, expand your horizons, and make a true impact on the world through your personal and professional communication efforts.
