Undergraduate Program
Undergraduate students majoring in Communication at Penn study media institutions,
communication and contemporary culture, and a wide variety of communication influences
in social, political and economic contexts. Scholarship in communication intersects
with many disciplines - including history, psychology, sociology, anthropology,
political science, law, and economics - drawing from both humanistic and social-scientific
modes of inquiry to examine fundamental communication processes and effects.
Undergraduate courses in Communication are taught by standing faculty of The Annenberg
School for Communication and by a variety of teachers and researchers with expertise
in numerous media-related fields. The major in communication is also supported by
administrative staff who assist with admissions, course planning, internships, and
theses.
