Mission Statement

The Communication department supports the mission of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, namely, "to guide students in developing disciplined, informed thinking; communication skills; problem-solving skills; strategies for information access; respect for the views of others; and a lifetime love of learning."

More specifically, we are committed to developing research, thinking, writing, speaking, listening, team-building, and leadership skills. We study the processes of interaction in a variety of contexts, cultures, and styles. We teach the ability to interact ethically, confidently, and effectively in an increasingly diverse society.
