Welcome to the Department of Interpersonal Communication (IPC). IPC is in the School of Communication Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences. Its mission is to generate and share knowledge about human communication in a variety of contexts and to teach applications for ethical and effective interaction in personal and professional settings.

The department provides rich opportunities for students to study and apply theories of human communication to meet the challenges we face in the 21st Century. Our program is designed to enable students to examine and assess the process of face-to-face and mediated communication in interpersonal, organizational, intercultural and international contexts. Our majors learn to think critically, creatively, and clearly as analysts, practitioners, and problem solvers.
