<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Until recently, I did not WashU had a Communications program. It is listed here: <a href=“http://admissions.wustl.edu/admissions/ua.nsf/3rd%20Level%20Pages_Academics_academics_majors.htm?OpenPage&charset=iso-8859-1[/url]”>http://admissions.wustl.edu/admissions/ua.nsf/3rd%20Level%20Pages_Academics_academics_majors.htm?OpenPage&charset=iso-8859-1&lt;/a&gt; . However, the description of the program makes it sounds as if there are no specific classes dedicated to the program, other than internships and classes loosely based through other Arts&Sciences major? I searched through the Course Listings and found very little.</p>

<p>Can someone please explain how Communications works at WashU?</p>

<p>Also, if you are in the Arts&Sciences School, can you take courses from Olin School of Business?</p>

<p>Someone please respond!</p>

<p>Marc,</p>

<p>This is a little off-topic but you should really check out Northwestern’s school of communication:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.communication.northwestern.edu/[/url]”>http://www.communication.northwestern.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>All depts within the school are top-5 in the nation.</p>

<p>I was going to do Arts&Sciences at NU and take Communications classes and Business classes there as some of my courses.</p>

<p>I just browsed through the Wash U site really quick (you may want to spend more time than I did to verify independently) and it looks like there’s not really a degree program in communication . There are just some related courses (through the “University college” which I think like a adult learning/evening program which doesn’t really grant any degree?) that you can take as electives outside your chosen major. I am sorry that you didn’t make it to NU; good luck on your college application.</p>

<p>Thanks (btw, that’s all I saw too on their website).</p>
