Mission Statement<br />
Biola University’s Communication Studies Major exists to<br />
produce committed Christian graduates who are adept at<br />
constructing ethical written and oral messages. They should<br />
also be critical consumers of messages communicated by all<br />
forms of media, both popular and religious. These graduates<br />
are trained in both the theory and practice of communicative<br />
arts.<br />
All Communication Studies majors must receive at least a grade of “C” in all major courses taken at Biola.<br />
Communication Studies majors should have a deep understanding of issues relating to the contexts of rhetoric and persuasion, interpersonal<br />
communication, intercultural communication gender communication, and their related subdisciplines (such as organizational communication and<br />
other interdisciplinary pursuits). <strong>Speech</strong>/<strong>Drama</strong> emphasis students should understand the power of drama as participant, critic, and creative<br />
source. Students should work actively to find avenues for dramatic expression in presenting aspects of their faith in a variety of vocations as well<br />
as in direct ministry opportunities.<br />
To excel morally and spiritually our graduates need a thorough understanding of and commitment to the Bible. They also need skill in thinking<br />
through dilemmas they will face in morally challenging industries. They need to be ‘be prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks [them] to<br />
give a reason for the hope that [they] have.” I Peter 3:15. They must be prepared to work hard, yet give their highest priority to God, family and<br />
their Christian community.<br />
In being critics of the messages inherent in public, political, popular and personal spheres of communication, Communication Studies majors<br />
learn to identify the voices of those who are marginalized so that they may be able to advocate their cause and minister to them in a manner that is<br />
sensitive and biblical.
