Communication Fundamentals is an undergraduate course that surveys the contemporary field of Communication Studies and teaches students the necessary skills and abilities to become 
effective communicators and critical consumers of discourse. The course is offered through the Department of Communication Studies and it serves as part of the General Education Program and as a prerequisite for becoming a Communication Studies Major.
Communication Fundamentals enrolls approximately 3500 students each year across more than 150 sections, taught by more than 45 instructors. In addition to the standard curriculum, we also offer Honors Program sections (COM100H) and one, large lecture (COM110).
Our basic course in communication participates in the national Communication Across the Curriculum (CxC) initiative to support and promote the teaching and practice of communication across and within all academic disciplines.
