Communication is much more than just the written word. Communication is also verbal or non-verbal, and it takes place at both an interpersonal and mass scale. With the University of Utah's Communication program, students learn how to be effective communicators for all different types of audiences. Communication is a diverse discipline and offers a variety of skills to prepare students for their careers. Through a combination of theoretical and technical training, the Communication program allows students to develop a comprehensive portfolio to market themselves to the industry.<br><br>There are many enrichment opportunities within the Department of Communication. If you want to network and spend time with fellow communication students, be sure to join one of the department's many clubs and organizations: The John R. Park Debate Society allows members to practice debate skills in a friendly, competitive environment. Student Media provides students with practical positions in radio and digital journalism while PRSSA is a student-run advertising and PR club helping students learn the skills to become future professionals in the field. Additionally, the department helps hundreds of students complete high-quality internships every year in a wide range of subjects.
