Department of Communication prepares students for the changing landscape of 21st century communication at a time when the dissemination of authentic, fact-based information has never been more critical. Our undergraduate offerings focus on communication literacy and inquiry; theory and concepts; and community engagement. Graduate students conduct original research on how communication manifests across a wide range of social domains. The department is actively committed to sustaining a diverse learning community — approximately half of our undergraduate majors are people of color. </p> </div> <a href="http://www.com.washington.edu/" class="button department-intro__site-link" >Visit Department Site</a> <a href="/academics/social-sciences/communication/fact-sheet" class="fancy-link department-intro__factsheet-link">View Factsheet</a> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <section id="programs" class="page-section department-programs"> <div class="department-programs__banner"> <img src="/sites/default/files/2021-06/CMU-programs-sub.jpg" alt="Image of the Communications building on the University of Washington Seattle campus."> </div> <div class="outer-pad"> <div class="department-programs__content"> <div class="silc-grid silc-grid--justify-center"> <div class="silc-grid__col silc-grid__col--6-800"> <h2 class="department-programs__content-heading">Undergraduate Programs</h2> <ul class="department-programs__list"> <li class="department-programs__list-item"> <a href="https://com.uw.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/apply-communication-or-jpic-major/" class="department-programs__program-link">B.A., Communication</a> </li> <li class="department-programs__list-item"> <a href="https://com.uw.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/apply-communication-or-jpic-major/" class="department-programs__program-link">B.A., Communication: Journalism and Public Interest Communication</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="silc-grid__col silc-grid__col--6-800"> <h2 class="department-programs__content-heading">Graduate Programs</h2> <ul class="department-programs__list"> <li class="department-programs__list-item"> <a href="https://com.uw.edu/graduate/ma-phd/ma-phd-overview/" class="department-programs__program-link">M.A., Communication</a> </li> <li class="department-programs__list-item"> <a href="https://com.uw.edu/graduate/ma-phd/ma-phd-overview/" class="department-programs__program-link">Ph.D., Communication</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="field-wrapper"> <section class="page-section department-careers outer-pad" id="careers"> <div class="silc-grid silc-grid--collapse"> <div class="silc-grid__col silc-grid__col--5-800 silc-grid__col--4-1200"> <div class="department-careers__image"> <figure > <img src="/sites/default/files/2021-06/CMU-careers-sub.jpg" width="800" height="840" alt="Person wearing black suit walks in front of white building with columns." loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </figure> <div class="field-wrapper"> <div class="department-careers__stat"> <span class="department-careers__stat-number">13</span> <span class="department-careers__stat-text"><span style="display: inline-block; text-align:center;">Pulitzer Prizes awarded to nine Communication alumni </span></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="silc-grid__col silc-grid__col--7-800 silc-grid__col--8-1200"> <div class="department-careers__content text-content"> <h2> <div class="field-wrapper"> Careers </div> </h2> <div class='text-content'> <div> <p>The skills our majors develop — critical thinking, effective written and verbal communication, respect for diverse perspectives — open opportunities in a wide range of career paths.
