Department of Communication

The Utah Valley University Communication Department is shaping students to become the industry’s next top leaders in Journalism, Public Relations and Speech Communication. The department prepares students with the necessary skills to communicate visually, orally and through written documentation within the context demanded by the business world. Students are also prepared with a solid ethical foundation and an understanding of  diversity and multiculturalism.

The Department of Communication currently has two advisors to guide students through registration, course enrollment, and graduation. To schedule an appointment, please call (801) 863-8452.

**Attention Students: Communication Department Policy Change Effective Fall 2014

Recently the Communication Department voted and agreed that effective Fall 2014, late adds will not be accepted after week 2 of the semester. This means that the first week students will be able to add a course late if a seat becomes open through the wait list. The second week late adds will be approved at the sole discretion of the professor if they have not already reached their maximum enrollment for the course. Courses will not be available to add after the second week of coursework.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

The Department of Communication is located in the Losee Center, room 227. Here, you can find most of the faculty/staff offices and our administrative assistant, Courtney Burns.
