Communication at UVU

The mission of the Department of Communication is to help students prepare for careers that demand skills in oral, written, and visual communication in interpersonal, organizational, print, and electronic contexts. the department offers programs of study leading to Associate in Arts/Science and Bachelor of Arts/Science degrees with concentrations in Journalism, Public Relations, or Communication Theory and Practice.  Communications is also available as an emphasis for a B.A. or B.S. in Integrated Studies as a minor.

Within the degree programs students are able to complete two internships, giving them valuable hands-on experience in the real world.  These internships help students cultivate working relationships with industry leaders and create networking opportunities for post-collegiate employment.

Student opportunities related to the Communication Department include the Communication Club which includes sub-groups in each of the emphases, the student newspaper The UVU Review, the Marie Clegg Jones Annual Speech Competition, and other events throughout the year.
