Communication Studies, B.A.
As of September 1, 2023, this degree is in teach-out phase; it is not open to new or readmit students.
Mission
The Department of Communication Studies provides a rigorous integration of academically strong and biblically-based study of communication. We engage with historical and cultural implications, develop identities, and analyze messages informed by foundational theories, contemporary research, and investigative methodologies. Our graduates are empowered to speak, write and problem solve ethically and with humility to impact local and global communities.
Degree Program
Upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements, the Communication Studies Department offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies. Obtaining a degree with one of the four concentrations offered requires 45-48 program and concentration credits.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, students will be able to:
- Describe the communication discipline and its central questions (ULO 1).
- Engage in communication inquiry, employ theories, and critically analyze messages (ULO 1, 3).
- Create messages appropriate to the audience, purpose, and context, and demonstrate self-efficacy (ULO 1, 2, 3).
- Apply ethical communication principles and practices (ULO 1, 3).
- Utilize communication to demonstrate cultural competency (ULO 2, 3).
- Influence public discourse through framing, evaluating, and advocating for local, national, and global issues from a distinctly biblical perspective (ULO 1, 3).
Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information section of this catalog.
Communication Studies Forum
Students in the Department of Communication Studies are required to attend the Communication Studies Forum each semester. During this event, students will complete their academic advising, as well as participate in conversations valuable to their curricular and co-curricular experience within the program.
When a student is unable to attend the Communication Studies Forum, they must complete a formal proposal for the absence, to the department, at least one month prior to the event. The student is responsible to obtain the required form from the department. It is also the responsibility of the student to complete and submit the form by the deadline.
Students who have an accepted proposal for absence are required to individually make up the missing information through an additional assignment. A written report is required from students, two weeks before class registration, in order to complete their requirement for missing the forum.
Writing Competency Requirement
Every Biola student must fulfill the Writing Competency Requirement (WCR). Students fulfill the WCR by passing ENGL 313 with a C+ or better. If they fail to meet this requirement, they must consult with their major advisor for an alternative WCR pathway. For more information, see the section titled "Writing Competency Requirement" under the Admission, Enrollment and Graduation Requirements section.
GPA Requirements
Communication Studies majors must achieve a minimum grade of a "C" in all major courses taken at Biola. Anyone receiving a lower grade must repeat the course with a higher grade to receive credit for the course.
