Can someone please give me honest information about the Communication Studies Program?

The problem I am facing is that I am from Arizona which makes me an out of state student. My tuition per year would be about $55,000. Financially, my parents can’t afford it and neither can I. The thought of student loans is terrifying.

I think the larger issue is how you will repay your loans? This is a degree in something you aren’t quite sure will be financially equitable to the amount of loans your parent is paying.

For some universities, “communication studies” involves speech pathology or network broadcasting. Why didn’t you investigate the major before you applied? There are online catalogs and I googled Communication studies, UCLA and got this: http://commstudies.ucla.edu/major
It appears to be a marketing and social science major.
