ABOUT
The Department of Communication Studies at the University of Miami School of Communication empowers students to develop advanced skills in cross-cultural communication, leadership, argumentation, oral and written presentations, critical thinking, research, relationship building, and more – skills that can be used in any field or career.
Communication Studies students have the opportunity to conduct important research on a number of topics and are challenged to apply communication skills through hands-on experiential learning and professional internships. Our outstanding professors prepare students for many different careers, including politics, public advocacy, health care promotion, business, and intercultural education, or to pursue graduate or law school.

COM 406 section EFG – Climate Resilience
COM 406 section TU1 – Persuasion, Propaganda & Genocide: This course examines how governments, and the cultures and societies that support them, create discourses that make it plausible for citizens to harm, degrade, and murder other citizens. We will take both a comparative and methodological approach to understanding how to answer this basic question. We will explore contemporary theories and modes of persuasion and propaganda and apply them to selected historical and contemporary cases of genocide. We also will attempt to identify approaches to preventing mass atrocities.
COS 391 section JK – Disinformation & Propaganda
