to develop confidence and ability as ethical communicators; to view communication events from multiple perspectives; to understand the multicultural character of communication in contemporary society; to analyze and evaluate variables operating in verbal transactions; to probe the basic problems of human communication in order to understand self, others, and events; and to recognize the connections between communication studies and other disciplines. <br />  <br /> The College of Communication serves students whose professional goals are in mass communication and media studies including journalism, radio, television, film, and public communication including public relations and advertising.  Students whose professional goals are in the public, private, or non-profit sectors, such as government, corporations, training and human resources, and social and human services are well served by relational, group, and organizational communication and communication and culture courses in linguistics, performance studies, and rhetoric.  In addition, the BA in Communication trains students who want to continue their education in academic or professional graduate programs. <br />  <br /> The College provides both an introduction to the broad field of communication and allows students to specialize in one of five tracks:  Communication and Culture (COC), Journalism (JOU), Public Communication (PC), Radio, Television and Film (RTF), and Relational, Group, and Organizational Communication (RGO).  <b>Night students</b> can specialize in Radio, TV, and Film only.  The department also offers a variety of minors in all the tracks except Public Communication.  The Department offers internships through which majors and minors can gain experience in both the public and private sectors, commercial and not-for-profit organizations.  Department faculty members also sponsor the university s radio station (WRDP) and advise the student newspaper, <em>The DePaulia</em>.  We encourage students interested in journalism and radio to participate in these organizations.  We also offer a Public Debate program in which students can participate</span> <div class="print-spacing">&nbsp;</div></div></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding-top:30px;padding-bottom:20px;"> <small><a href="http://www.depaul.edu/copyright.asp" target="_blank">&copy;2006</a> | DePaul University | <a href="http://www.depaul.edu/disclaimer.asp" target="_blank">Disclaimer</a> | <a href="http://www.depaul.edu/feedback.asp" target="_blank">Webmaster</a><br> 1 E.
