Summary of Program Requirements - Four Year Major
The Summary of Program Requirements for Corporate Communication is a comprehensive list of those categories which a student must fulfill in order to earn their degree.

Detailed Program Requirements
Please see below for detailed program requirements and possible selective fulfillments of the four year major.
Three Year Major
The Brian Lamb School of Communication now offers all five majors in schedules that can be completed in just three years. These new schedules have the same number of total hours (120), and the same number of major hours (42 or 30), but compress them into three years. The three-year plan requires two summers, with the following distribution of semester hours (fall/spring/summer):
Year One: 15/18/9
Year Two: 18/18/9
Year Three: 18/15/graduation in May
These new three-year plans are in addition to the existing four-year programs, which will all still be available. And of course, if students enter the program with any Advanced Placement or transfer credit, meeting the three-year calendar becomes even simpler.
