Welcome

The Department of Communication is one of the fastest growing units serving students on campus at the University of Kentucky.

We are one of four units in the College of Communication and Information, serving three major instructional roles for the University:

1) We offer Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees for undergraduate Communication majors; 2) We offer a communication minor and health communication certificate; and
3) We teach most of the graduate courses leading to a Master’s or Doctoral degree in Communication through the College Graduate Program in Communication. As you’ll see from all the information on this site, we have strong and diverse undergraduate and graduate programs. See Teaching to learn more about these programs. (Read More)
