Welcome to the Department of Communication web site
at Westfield State College

The communication major offers students the historical and theoretical background to analyze and understand global culture dominated by media and dependent on effective communication. The communication department prepares students to be well-informed, responsible citizens and creative and ethical communication practitioners. The department is unique in offering this balance of theory and practice, which is manifest through our courses, our widely respected internship program, and our students’ involvement in a wide and diverse variety of campus and community organizations. From the local to the global level, our students and graduates apply their knowledge and skills to pursue further knowledge, establish professional careers, and improve their communities.
