CCI Introductory Course

Welcome to the College of Communication and Information. The college’s faculty and staff understand the important role academic advising plays in the quality of a student’s undergraduate experience.

Advisors help each student tailor an academic program to fit the student’s interests, goals, and abilities within the criteria set by the faculty leading toward completion of a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication, depending on the student’s major. Advisors serve as sources of information about university and college policies, procedures and appropriate campus resources. They help each student explore career related goals and seek practical experiences.
