Department of Communication

TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

Our focus, as it has been from the beginning, is on exposing students to both cutting edge and classical knowledge of communication, ensuring students are gaining practical skills in oral and mediated communication, encouraging active and engaged citizenship, and learning the communication ethics commensurate with a diverse and global society. Provided with models and techniques for understanding and navigating complex organizational environments–in politics, in social media, in the corporate world, in non-profits, in health providers, and in social movements, among others–students will graduate prepared to take on the multi-faceted roles demanded of them in today’s society.

TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

The Latino/a and Mexican-American Studies minor (or LMAS) at Texas A&M University invites students from all colleges to investigate the experiences and contributions of Latina/os in the United States and abroad.

Topics covered in the courses include race/ethnicity, gender, politics, religion, education, labor, immigration, and major historical events like the Chicano and Puerto Rican civil rights movements and the social and demographic characteristics of Latina/os.
