Communication and Rhetorical Studies | Idaho State University

Our Fourfold Purpose

In both areas of emphasis, our program is designed to meet a fourfold purpose:

To study the nature and process of oral communication
To develop the student's ability to communicate clearly, confidently, and rationally
To understand the critical role of rhetoric in shaping historical events
To understand the methods of the social sciences and analyze communication situations according to those methods

Students who study speech receive a broad liberal arts background which may lead to careers in law, business, public relations, management, teaching, the ministry, politics, broadcasting, personnel work, and public administration.
