And with good reason: students realize that study in communication is not only a way to a good job, but it's superb background for almost any profession you can imagine.  Good writing skills, polished speaking skills, clear thinking skills, ability to relate well with others in all sorts of professional groups--what professional would not value these abilities? What student would not value these abilities, no matter where life leads her or him?  It's no wonder, with almost 250 undergraduate majors and 50 graduate students, that NDSU's Department of Communication is a popular home for people from a variety of backgrounds.</p><p class="text-center">For more information, contact the chair of our department, <a href="/communication/faculty/stephenson_j_beck/" title="NDSU link" class="internal-link">Dr. Stephenson Beck</a>.</p><p> </p></div></div></div> <div class="two-col container-layout"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 col-12">  <div id="c837279" class="frame frame-default frame-type-dce_dceuid2 frame-layout-0"> <div class="hero-banner hero-banner-middle hero-banner-normal dim-black" style="background-image:url(/fileadmin/_processed_/4/9/csm_200313_Communications-86_7c3e6c5087.jpg);">  <div class="container"> <section class="default bottom left"> <div class="sr-only"><hr/></div> <h3>Programs</h3> <a href="/communication/programs/" class="btn btn-secondary">Explore</a> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-6 col-12">  <div id="c837281" class="frame frame-default frame-type-dce_dceuid2 frame-layout-0"> <div class="hero-banner hero-banner-middle hero-banner-normal dim-black" style="background-image:url(/fileadmin/_processed_/f/5/csm_221006_Strategic_Communications_Savannah_Lussier-40_d8d7ed255c.jpg);">  <div class="container"> <section class="default bottom left"> <div class="sr-only"><hr/></div> <h3>Student Resources</h3> <a href="/communication/student_resources/" class="btn btn-secondary">Learn More</a> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="tx-dce-pi1"> <ul class="nav social-media-buttons ndsu-social-media-buttons icon"> <li class="nav-item">  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NDSUCOMM" title="Find us on Facebook"> <span aria-label="Find us on Facebook" class="fab fa-facebook-f" style="font-size:2rem;"></span> </a>  </li> <li class="nav-item">   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ndsucommdept/?hl=en" title="View us on Instagram"> <span aria-label="View us on Instagram" class="fab fa-instagram" style="font-size:2rem;"></span> </a> </li> <li class="nav-item">   <a href="https://twitter.com/ndsucommdept?lang=en" title="Follow us on Twitter"> <span aria-label="Follow us on Twitter" class="fab fa-x-twitter" style="font-size:2rem;"></span> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="footer-dept footer-left"> <div class="container"> <section class="footer-address"> <div class="address"> <p>Department of Communication                                                                 <br> Phone: (701) 231-7705<br> Physical Address: Minard 338 • 1210 Albrecht Blvd. • Fargo, ND 58102<br> Mailing Address: Department #2512 • P.O.
