The emphasis of the Program is on interpersonal interaction and human relationships, organizational and institutional communication, public discourse and mass communication. Students choose areas of specialization and specific courses that can lead to professional or pre-professional competence in such fields as journalism, training and development, human resources, foreign service, law, politics and government, human services, social change agencies, labor-management relations, personnel, campaign and press administration, and public health. Undergraduate study in Communication can assist the student in pursuing advanced studies for a variety of careers including law, crisis communication, public policy, sustainability, dispute resolution, applied community development, the ministry, and higher education. Undergraduate students majoring in the Communication Program are encouraged to take course work in other fields and programs; typical areas for minors and double majors in recent years have included: political science, sociology, women's studies, business, international relation,\u00a0information technology, and economics.<\/p>\n<p>Students in the Communication Program take advantage of the many internship and field-based opportunities available in Washington, D.C. Recent internships include prestigious organizations such as Voice of America, CBS, ABC, CNN, C-SPAN, Kennedy Center, Strathmore, Washington Nationals, Washington Mystics, as well as local television stations, public relations firms, law firms, lobbying groups, political action committees, and state and federal government.<\/p>\n<p>The Communication Program offers a major and minor to students in the College of Arts and Sciences. The major consists of six required courses, six elective courses, and five courses to be taken as co-requisites. All communication majors are encouraged to minor in programs related to their personal and career interests. The minor in communication consists of six courses.\u00a0 The Communication Program also offers a comprehensive concentration in Journalism.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Journalism_Concentration\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"Journalism Concentration\"><\/a>Journalism Concentration<\/h2><\/span>\n<p>The journalism concentration in the Communication Program at Trinity offers students an opportunity to learn and practice the skills necessary to prepare for internships and careers in the field of journalism. Students who choose the journalism concentration will be prepared to work for newspapers and magazines (both print and electronic versions), public relations firms, and book publishing companies.<\/p>\n<p>Students who choose the journalism concentration must take all of the courses necessary to fulfill the requirements for a communication degree as well as take and successfully complete courses in journalism, such as <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >COM 383<\/span>, the introductory journalism course, and <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >COM 395<\/span>.
