COM’s student population exceeds 2,200 in its B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. programs. COM integrates a strong liberal arts core with a focus on preparing students for careers as communication professionals. The faculty represents a blend of scholars and distinguished practitioners. BU enjoys an international reputation and is a major R1 and AAU institution.
