Undergraduate programs in LL&C provide students with the multidisciplinary education that is essential for leadership in an "information society," a society that is rapidly being transformed by new communication processes and technologies. Building on Rensselaer's strong technological infrastructure, these programs offer students hands-on education in new communication technologies and theoretical frameworks in order to understand and shape the cultural impact of these technologies.

Our programs prepare students for advanced study of communication or for employment in the fields related to communication technology, technical communication, graphic design, or multimedia production.
