This discipline is in the Division of the Humanities.

UMM students in the CMR major study the multidimensional nature of various types of communication processes, the activities of message production, and the analysis and evaluation of personal, public, and mass communication. Students develop skills for lifelong learning and refine capabilities for active involvement in a participatory democracy.

¿ develop a historical and theoretical understanding of the three areas of communication, media, and rhetoric
¿ use a variety of assigned theoretical approaches appropriate to these three areas to describe and evaluate assigned or chosen discourse
