Communications (Off-site) Program Description |
Towson University and Harford Community College have a memorandum of understanding for a 2+2 Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Communications Studies to be offered off campus at Towson University North-east. <br> <br>Harford Community College’s (HCC’s) English and General Studies programs provide a significant number of transfer students to Towson University’s Communication Studies program. HCC launched a new major in Communication Studies that furthers this connection to TU’s program and allows the transfer of five to six communication studies courses from HCC. Articulation agreements will serve to make the transfer experience seamless. <br> <br>Both Harford Community College’s and Towson University’s core missions include the fostering of skills that emphasize effective communication, critical analysis, and the development of students who are local and global leaders. At its foundation, TU’s Communication Studies major focuses on how people use messages to generate meanings within and across various contexts and is the discipline that studies all forms, modes, media, and consequences of communication through humanistic, social scientific, and aesthetic inquiry. <br> |
