Bachelor of Arts in Communication A Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication prepares students to engage more knowingly with the communicative patterns, problems and practices that they will encounter in their personal, professional and civic lives. What is Communication?
Media Practices Option
Students will learn to move beyond commonplace and conventional understandings of communication and acquire sophisticated perspectives – workable orientations – for describing, analyzing, reflecting upon and engaging with those patterns, problems and practices.
The Department of Communication in collaboration with the Communication Arts Department at the UNH Manchester campus offers the media practices option. This option is designed for qualified students who want to augment their Communication major at Durham with training in media production and applied media communication through courses in the Communication Arts Department at the Manchester Campus.
The Communication major not only acquaints students with a variety of empirical, critical, historical, theoretical and pragmatic perspectives toward communication phenomena, but encourages them to formulate workable orientations of their own for engaging with communication issues and questions. Students who graduate with a communication major are prepared to become thoughtful and proficient communication decision-makers during their post-graduate lives.
Focus Areas Business Applications Option The Department of Communication in collaboration with the Department of Marketing and the Department of Management in the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics offers a business applications option for communication students. The objective of the business applications option is to offer a select group of communication students the opportunity to augment the liberal arts focus of their major with professional training in such areas as marketing, advertising and organizational behavior.

Opportunities Undergraduate Research Conference The Undergraduate Research Conference (URC), is a week-long symposium, where undergraduate students from all academic disciplines present the results of their scholarly research in professional and artistic venues. The URC exemplifies UNH’s commitment to fostering a dynamic culture of research which encourages inquiry, exploration and deeper immersion in one’s field of study. Comm-entary Comm-entary is the annual student journal of communication, founded in 1981. Articles are blind-reviewed by a student editorial board — the editors do not know the names of the authors of submitted work
until after an article has been accepted for publication. Copies of Comm-entary and a folder with the tables of contents of all issues are available for reference in the department office. Any communication major, as well as any other undergraduate student, may submit material for consideration and possible publication. Internships Internships for Communication majors are offered directly through the Communication Department. These internships are electives designed to integrate classroom study and supervised practical experience in a work setting. Communication Internship Outlook is a comprehensive website dedicated to Communication students finding internships in fields such as Public Service, Healthcare, Art, etc.
Lambda Pi Eta A student-run organization for high achieving Communication majors. The organization has brought guest speakers to campus, sponsored faculty-student receptions and social events and raised money for a variety of other activities.
