3 Students may not count more than 6 credits of COMM 440 toward the major. Interdisciplinary This concentration will provide students maximum latitude in creating a course of study to suit their particular needs. Students choosing this option begin by consulting with the Chairman of the Communication Studies Department. The Chairman will help students choose appropriate courses, which may include courses from other departments. Students will then complete a form (available from the Communication Studies Department) in which they describe career goals and give a rationale for each of the courses selected. The form will be submitted to a committee made up the Communication Studies Department chairman, and a second faculty member. The committee may accept the proposal as submitted, make minor modifications before accepting it, or reject it. If accepted, the proposal becomes part of the student’s graduation requirements. In making its decision the committee will consider the following: 1. The proposed courses should prepare students well for stated career objectives; 2. The proposal should focus study to a limited area which can be covered in depth; 3. The academic rigor of the proposal should be at least equal to that expected of other Communication Studies concentrations; and 4. If, in the judgment of the committee, these goals can be met better through another major or concentration the proposal will be rejected. Concentration-Specific Requirements Obtaining a degree with this concentration requires a minimum of 42 credits, 24 of which must be from the Department of Communication Studies. A minimum of 27 credits must be upper-division. The interdisciplinary proposal must be submitted and approved no later than the first semester of the Junior year. No exceptions will be made.
