Speech Communication: Bachelor of Arts
For information contact the speech communication area of the Department of Communication, 160 Bachelor Hall (513-529-7171).
Speech communication is the study of how our sense of social and individual reality is created through human communication processes. Through in-depth study of communication theories, methodologies, and contexts, we explore how communication is included in the development, maintenance, and termination of relationships in interpersonal, small group, organizational, and public contexts. Specific focus options are described in Program Options below.
Special Admission Requirements
Enter the program as a pre-communication major and take these three courses:
Introduction to Speech Communication (3)
COM 135 Public Expression and Critical Inquiry (3)
COM 143 Introduction to Mass Communication (3)
Students may apply for admission to the major (which is selective) after taking the three pre-major courses and after completing 30 hours. Admission is determined on the following criteria: cumulative g.p.a.; pre-major g.p.a.; and the qualifying exam over , 135, and 143. The same criteria for admission applies to transfer students.
Internship
Qualified speech communication majors are encouraged to participate in internships. Speech communication area faculty select internship recipients; criteria include, but are not restricted to, g.p.a. (minimum 2.75 overall and 3.00 in all classes taken for the major), academic preparation for the particular internship, junior or senior standing, and faculty recommendations. Internship application procedures should be completed by April 15 for summer and fall semesters and November 15 for spring semester. Speech communication area faculty are not obligated to provide all students with internships.
Program Options
This major has three areas of focus: interpersonal/relational communication, organizational communication, and rhetorical influence. Each leads to the A.B. with a major in speech communication. You must have written approval from your adviser for your specific area of focus.
Program Requirements: Interpersonal/Relational Communication
The objective of this focus is to create a detailed understanding of how people use verbal and nonverbal communication to define, negotiate, and change their relationships. This focus increases awareness of key variables, including individual differences (e.g., personality and demographic factors) and cultural/social influences (e.g., AIDS, computer technology) on various types of relationships (e.g., professional, romantic, family). A thorough, systematic examination of relevant theory and research regarding interpersonal/relational communication is offered. This focus is intended for students planning to enter graduate programs in speech communication (and related disciplines) and/or to apply this knowledge to their personal and professional lives.
