CMST Department Mission Statement:

We are a community of scholars who participate in the creation, discovery, and dissemination of knowledge about communication. We are committed to communication as central to self and community. We demonstrate that commitment in the following ways:

1. We educate students in the theories and principles of communication so that they become competent communicators and critical thinkers. 
   
   
2. We maintain a working environment within the department that respects the tensions between individual professional pursuits and departmental needs and goals. 
   
   
3. We shape and respond to the needs of the campus, community, and society through exchanges of expertise and promotion of the discipline. 
   
   
4. We address throughout our curriculum the need for understanding diverse ideas and cultural experiences.
