Communication Studies

Student Comments

My Hong Kong communication courses gave me a different perspective on how advertising and mass media function in Asia, which sparked my interest in a possible career opportunity when I graduate.
—Wendy Kan, Hong Kong

"Study abroad prompted me to learn more about international systems and global networks, not only pertaining to the media, but in politics and social movements as well. In one course, I wrote a research paper on search engine regulations in Asia. I’m much more interested now in international affairs."
—Brianna Lee, Singapore

"My EAP semester was the best six months of my life. It changed me and expanded my studies into an area of the world few are able to experience. Being able to take classes for my majors (mass communications and history) was both productive and rewarding. The challenges I faced inside and outside the classroom made me a better student and person."
–Kali Lantrip, South Africa

"I worked on the news team at lsrfm.com, the student-run campus radio station, which gave me the chance to explore my interest in broadcast journalism. This is something I was
not able to do at my home UC campus."
–Jessica Fougere, United Kingdom

"It was extremely beneficial to take communication classes from a perspective outside
of the US. I focused on political and international communication and gained a new understanding and respect for my major."
–Jessica Cella, United Kingdom
