Bring Your Own Device
The Department of Communication, within the College of Interdisciplinary Studies, strives to ensure that its students are fully prepared to enter the professional world, including having a competence in the technology required in the field. Since students are engaged in projects and assignments that require continuous access to technology:
- All students are required to have an entry-level (primary) portable computing device (laptop).
- Secondary computing devices like tablets can be used, but they are not considered primary computing devices.
