Bachelor of Science in Communication - Culture and Social Influence

Middle Tennessee State University

The major in Communication with a concentration in Culture and Social Influence (CSI) equips students to understand communication in various significant social contexts. Through hands-on experiences and critical analysis, students learn the dynamics of communication that influence family and romantic relationships, intercultural interactions, rhetoric, and public dialogue. Classes in CSI utilize and build on concepts, theories, and methods of study covered in core communication classes while developing a deeper focus on identities, culture, and power. These experiences prepare students for success in a variety of fields including public relations, community engagement, ministry, politics, diversity consulting, business administration, college admissions, and many others. Students will also be prepared for the option of graduate studies. CSI graduates apply their analytical and critical thinking strengths along with improved verbal and written communication skills to make a difference in their workplaces and communities.
