Speech Communication at MPC
The Speech department has decided that a change of name is in order, for professional and practical reasons. The Speech department will be known as Speech Communication. Current trends in the development of our discipline, such as the study of human communication in a breadth of areas beyond public speaking, the confusion of “speech†with “speech pathology,†and the unique differences between mass communications and human communication studies, point to a need for greater specificity in the title of our department. |
