Welcome...

to the Department of Communication. No matter who you are, you'll find almost everything you need to know about our program here. If you're not yet a student at ASU and are interested in our program, check out the resource page for Prospective Students first. And if your question isn't answered here, please let us know.

As one of the top comprehensive programs in the UNC system, we are blessed with many talented and able students. While not required, many of our better students seek an internship experience as part of their education. We invite those browsing this site to let us know if you are looking for interns and we would be glad to talk with you and, perhaps, find an intern to fit your needs.

We're especially excited about two new initiatives: the Kellar Radio Talent Institute, and the Beasley Broadcasting Complex. You can watch the renovations in action with our live webcam! Please visit these pages to discover what these are and how you can be a part of the excitement.
