Welcome
to the Department of Communication
The
Department of Communication, one of three
units in the College
of Communications and Information Studies,
serves three major instructional roles for
the University of Kentucky: 1) We  provide
instruction for the oral communication requirement
component of the University StudiesProgram;
2) We offer Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor
of Science degrees for undergraduate Communication
majors; and 3) We teach most of the graduate
courses leading to a Master's or Doctoral
degree in Communication through the College
Graduate Program in Communication. As
you’ll see from all the information
on this site, we have strong and diverse
undergraduate and graduate programs. See
Teaching to
learn more about these programs.
On the research front, we are extremely
active. A recent National
Communication Association survey revealed
that, of programs responding to the survey,
our Department is the most highly funded
Comm-unication program in the nation. New
figures reveal that we have secured close
to $30 million in extramural funding over
the past 15 years. Almost all of this research
is focused in the health communication area
and investigates ways to increase the effectiveness
of media or classroom-based prevention programming.
See Research
to learn more about all of the research
going on in the Department.
We have a variety of other activities and
associations to note. We have strong undergraduate
and graduate student associations. From
hosting scholarly seminars and working with
faculty to strengthen our programs, to planning
professional development workshops and social
events, these associations are extremely
active and should be of interest to any
motivated student. See For
Students to learn more about these associations.
We hope this web site will provide you with
answers to your questions about the Department
of Communication and our curriculum and
teaching, research programs, services, and
our faculty, staff and students. If you
have questions after visiting this site,
please feel free to Contact
Us. We’d love to hear from you.
