Abstract
How does communication work? Why does communication work that
way? Scholars in communication studies begin to answer these questions through the application
of communication theory. This course serves as an introduction to a broad range of
communication theories related to interpersonal, group and public, intercultural, media, gender,
and organizational communication. This core course is required for communication majors
because it serves as a building block for upper level communication courses that depend upon a
working knowledge of communication theories and processes. This course serves as part of your
overall training as a communication scholar/professional in regards to critical thinking, analytic
thinking, critical reading, and listening skills. In this course we will focus our attention on the
analysis and evaluation of scientific, rhetorical, interpretive, and critical theories of
communication. Particular emphasis will be placed on how theory helps us understand, predict,
and transform communication processes.
