The UND Communication Program offers a comprehensive, integrated curriculum in communication that focuses on how information processes and communication technologies affect and can benefit a diversity of local and global communities. It prepares undergraduate students for careers as ethical communicators with a broad understanding of contemporary communication issues and with skills that are adaptable to a variety of contexts. One major, Communication, is offered leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. A minor in Communication is also offered.

How to Apply

Admission to the College of Arts and Sciences does not automatically carry admission to the Communication Program. Students planning to pursue a major through the Program should declare Pre-Communication as their intended major. In order to reach the next level, that of Admitted Major, Pre-Communication-and those who are pursuing an Admitted Minor status-must:

* Pass Comm 102 or 103 and Engl 110 with a grade of C or better.

* Pass an English Proficiency Test administered by UND's Testing Center, Counseling Center, 200 McCannell Hall

* Have a 2.50 overall GPA (which must be continued in order to take courses in Communication. At graduation, GPA must also be at least 2.50.)

* Have earned at least 24 semester credits

* Have his or her assigned faculty adviser approve a personal Plan of Study contract

Students are classified as Pre-Communication majors until they have completed these requirements.
