Candidates for graduation from the School of Communication with the degree of Bachelor of Arts must fulfill the B.A. requirements as listed under the School of Communication . In addition, students majoring in the Department of Rhetoric must choose a concentration in one of three areas: speech communication; communication, citizenship, and public advocacy; or communication, culture, and social action.

Note: The concentration in speech communication is recommended for students wishing to double major in speech communication and rhetorical studies and another major. Students in other concentrations who wish to double major should consult with a department adviser as soon as they choose a major, in order to complete the major requirements on time.
