The self-designed major in Communication Studies leads to a BA or BS in Communication Studies. This major requires completion of a minimum of 13 courses. Students choosing this option must also prepare a path statement. This path statement must be approved by the chair of Communication Studies no later than the first semester of the junior year.<\/p>

Students are responsible for reading course descriptions when choosing classes for their self-designed major. If they choose a class that requires permission because of prerequisites and\/or is a course at another college within Estuidar University and any of the graduate programs, they must seek permission using the proper procedures. Requesting permission is not a guarantee of being granted permission<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
