COLLEGE OF LIBERAL AND FINE ARTS
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION

The Department of Communication offers a Bachelor of Arts degree and a minor in Communication. Honors may also be earned in Communication. If a student majors in Communication, he or she has the option of concentrating his or her coursework in one of the following areas: Speech Communication, Technical Communication, Electronic Media, or Public Relations. Students interested in preparing for careers in the news media should concentrate in Technical Communication, and use their Communication and free electives to complete a recommended curriculum available from the advisor.

DEPARTMENT HONORS

Students whose grade point average in the communication major (including support work) before the beginning of their final year at UTSA is 3.25 or above, and whose overall grade point average is 3.0, may earn Honors in Communication. In order to do so, a student must complete a substantial paper or project approved by the Department Honors Committee, and maintain a 3.25 grade point average in both the major and support work. The grade point average requirements apply to all transfer work and courses at UTSA. In the event that a student does not meet the minimum grade point average requirements, the student may appeal to the Department Honors Committee for special consideration. Appropriate forms and letter(s) of recommendation from UTSA faculty are necessary for such consideration.
