Consider studying communication at George Fox

Sunday, March 15th, 2026

There is much more to studying communication than most people realize!

Our communication studies program challenges students to think critically, communicate strategically, and apply theory to real-world contexts through hands-on projects, internships and collaborative work.

Rather than taking the simple path, communication majors are equipped with versatile skills and practical experiences that intentionally pair with business, ministry, psychology, and other disciplines, opening doors to a wide range of meaningful career options.

It’s a major that doesn’t limit your future, but multiplies your possibilities and prepares you to lead with clarity, creativity and purpose.

Communication courses that complement any major include:

  • Communication in Society (COMM 111)
  • Persuasive Communication (COMM 200)
  • Interpersonal Communication (COMM 210
  • Organizational Communication (COMM 270)
  • Small Group Communication (COMM 290)
