Where Begin
This is the College of Communication (CCOM).
As a CCOM student, you’ll learn to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex challenges. You’ll benefit from vast experiential learning opportunities in our backyard of Indianapolis—a major hub for internships and for building your professional network.
You’ll also be supported through one-to-one relationships with faculty and staff, preparing you for your first job out of school and for careers that may not even exist today.
“Everyone
in CCOM—whether it’s classmates, professors, or staff—has been so helpful and welcoming. Professors also take the time to present concepts and lectures in engaging ways, ensuring we all understand the material before moving on to
the next topic.”
