Capstone Course

Successful completion of a capstone course with a grade of B or better is part of the degree requirements for most majors. A capstone course is an advanced class designated by the major in which students demonstrate their mastery of the subject matter. The capstone course should be taken in student's junior or senior year.

Transfer Students

The School of Communications welcomes transfer students at all stages of their educational journey. Students transferring to the School of Communications should meet with an academic advisor to discuss an appropriate plan of study and to determine placement of prior course work in communications before starting in a degree program at the school.

Dual Majors and Dual Degrees

Students in the School of Communications who pursue a dual major or dual degree will be expected to fulfill the requirements of both majors or both degrees. The same course may not satisfy the requirements for two different majors or two different degrees. When majors or degrees have conflicting or duplicate requirements, their academic advisor will help determine an appropriate plan of study. Students pursuing a dual major or dual degree will complete the Global Citizenship Program requirements of one of the programs. For more information about dual majors and dual degrees, please see Dual Majors and Dual Degrees in the Academic Policies section of this catalog.

Grade Requirements

Students must earn a grade of B in their capstone course and a C- or better in any course they wish to apply toward their major. The pass/fail option is not available for courses applied toward a major, unless those courses are offered only under the pass/fail option.

Minors

The following apply to all minors:

• A minor must be comprised of only credit hours taken at 麻豆视频.
• No course counted toward a major can also count toward a minor. If a student pursues a minor that requires a course also required for the student's major, the student should contact their academic advisor or the department chair to discuss an appropriate substitution.
• Students may have a major and a minor within the same department in the School of Communications; they may not have a major and minor within the same subject matter
