Introduction
The English and Communications program at East-West University is varied, flexible, and dynamic. It combines practical communications with the study of literature and culture. English and Communications majors can later work in the entertainment industry, politics, social media, business, law, management, or any other field that requires clear communication skills, understanding other people, and critical thinking.
Students will learn to:
see the possibilities of various genres,
understand how cultures affect Communication, to appreciate the differing values in visions of human existence, to see the world through the eyes of other people, other cultures, and other periods
shape arguments to the needs of different audiences
design and present documents in print and other media.
Students learn to see the design of what they read and to design what they write thoughtfully.
