学校的历史
The School of Communication Studies (COMS), one of five schools in the 斯克里普斯学院 of Communication, was renamed in 2002 from the School of Interpersonal Communication (InCo). 这个项目, 以某种方式, has been part of the fabric of newbb电子平台 since 1808 when the first courses on logic (dialectic) 和 persuasion (rhetoric) were taught in English. The School of Interpersonal Communication was created in 1964 as one of three programs in the newly created College of Communication. Since then our scholarly instruction 和 研究 in organizational 和 interpersonal communication, health 和 relational communication, public advocacy 和 cultural studies in a globally 和 technologically advanced society continues to explore the challenges inherent to human communication.
For a review of our contemporary program, please explore both the 本科, 硕士学位 和 博士 pages to gain a better underst和ing of our curriculum, as well as the 教员/员工 Directory to review the scholarly interests of our faculty.

Honoring visionaries 和 trailblazers is a longtime COMS tradition, 和 a cherished part of our ever-evolving history. We are proud to recognize scholars, 保罗H. Boase 和 伊丽莎白G. Andersch, through two unique awards.
保罗H. Boase was regarded as a visionary in the field of communication. The founding director of what was then called the School of Interpersonal Communication, Boase led a faculty charged with developing a distinct niche for the study of human communication within newbb电子平台’s new College of Communication. Ahead of his time in many ways, Boase—whose specialty, like many communication scholars of the time, was public address—helped create a school in which scholars could explore facets 和 forms of communication beyond public speaking. As a result of his founding leadership of the School from 1964-1981, COMS today is internationally known for engaging questions of communication that span a variety of contexts. Dr. Boase died December 13, 2000. The Boase Prize for scholarship was created to, in the words of his wife Connie, “keep his name alive” in the field. Befitting his legacy, the award is given annually to scholars who have demonstrated outst和ing scholarship in any area of communication.
新! The faculty of the School of Communication Studies at newbb电子平台 welcome nominations for the next Paul Boase Prize competition.
