Minors in the School of Communication are available to undergraduate students of any major. The six different minors allow students to explore facets of communication studies that are beneficial for many different jobs and futures. They range from focusing on interpersonal relationships and communication styles to studies of current media and culture.
Choosing Corporate Communication as a minor was one of the best decisions I have made at Queens University of Charlotte. Communication professors make the time fly by because you’re having so much fun and learning at the same time. Interpersonal Communication with Professor Dunn has sparked an interest in me that I have yet to find with any other class!”
