Communication at UC San Diego is a field of study that emphasizes the role of technologies and institutions of communication, from language to television, to the Internet and beyond, in mediating human experience. It draws from such social science disciplines as anthropology, psychology, sociology, and political science, and from the humanities and fine arts, including theatre, literature, and visual arts. Communication students will develop a critical awareness of the communicative forces that affect their everyday lives. The Department of Communication offers an Honors Program to those students who have demonstrated excellence in the communication major. Successful completion of the Honors Program enables the student to graduate With Highest Distinction, With High Distinction, or With Distinction, depending on performance in the program. The Honors Program requires an application. Students wishing to be considered need to include the following in their application: one faculty adviser signature who supports their admission to the program, a verified overall GPA of 3.0 and a major GPA of 3.5, and a brief but detailed description of the proposed research or creative project.
