Global Communication - BA

The Global Communication major focuses students on building skills, attitudes, and knowledge as critical global citizens, competent intercultural communicators, and globally minded individuals. We do this through a variety of methodological approaches including the social scientific study of public discourse, the humanist study of cultural texts, and the qualitative and quantitative study of intercultural exchanges.

The Global Communication degree at USU is unique. This program is the only four-year degree dedicated to a robust understanding of global communication in Utah, and it is one of only a handful of programs nationwide. The program specializes in giving the students tools to understand cultural systems and prepare them to work effectively and meaningfully in an increasingly global environment.
