Welcome to the Department of Communication at the University of South Carolina Aiken.
I am Dr. William Harpine, Chair of the department. Students in the Department of Communications
can learn about public relations, journalism, public communications, and the emerging new
media. Our graduates have entered careers in public relations, broadcasting, news writing
and editing, higher education and event planning. Outstanding alumni have gone on to advanced
study in graduate school. Our professors help students develop their analytical thinking
skills, improve their research abilities and understand the different ways in which people
communicate. Students improve their oral, visual and written communication skills. Our
department faculty members pride themselves on being available to talk with students and
help them with their work. The Department of Communications at USC Aiken offers a comprehensive
internship and service learning program. Our students have taken internships at public
relations departments, news papers, radio and TV stations, marketing departments of
sports teams, the University Advancement office, local schools and many other organizations.
Students take our writing and visual communications classes in an excellent iMac computer lab.
We keep the class sizes small enough so the students can interact with one another and
their professor. For more information, check our our website, follow us on twitter, and
check out our pictures on Flickr. You can call the Department of Communications at 803-641-3604.
Communications is the opportunity major.
