Welcome to the Communication Program

Where Your Voice Matters!

Communication is a liberal arts major designed to engage students in creating a voice for influencing our social world. The program is student-centered with small class sizes and active interaction between students and professors. The program emphasizes combining theory and practice, so that students gain knowledge and hands on experience that will assist them in a range of professional endeavors.

The career opportunities for communication graduates are impressive. Our students find employment in areas such as radio and television broadcasting, public relations, advertising, sales, event planning, speech writing, training, politics and government relations, and employment services.

The Communication program has a number of student organizations to enhance the educational experience, such as the student radio station WXOU, the student newspaper The Oakland Post, OUTV and the Student Video Club, and the Association for Women in Communication at OU. Student organizations provide hands on experience in relevant professional arenas and give students the opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience. Involvement in student organizations often opens the door to high quality internships, which can lead to jobs. Internships are highly encouraged for gaining valuable career-related experience.
