The University of Michigan
Department of Communication
Studies announced via email
to
students
last
week
that
it
will
be
making
changes
to
its
undergraduate
major
requirements, effective fall 2017.
Currently, students who wish
to declare a communications
studies major must complete
Communications 101, 102, 121
and 122 as prerequisite classes.
Beginning next fall, only 101
and 102 will be required for the
major.
Communications 121 and 122
— research methods classes —
will still be offered during most
semesters going forward, but will
be considered 200-level classes
and will no longer be required
for the major.
Communications
Prof.
Kristen
Harrison,
the
department’s associate chair for
undergraduate studies, said the
goal of the change is to make
the major more accessible and
tailored to students.
“Our
curriculum
was
so
bottom-heavy, meaning we had
so many requirements at the
lower end of the undergrad level,
that undergrads were having
trouble breaking into the major,”
Harrison said.
Harrison stressed the change
is meant to accommodate more
students, rather than hurt those
who have already completed
the four prerequisites currently
necessary for the major. Students
who have already taken 121 and
122 can keep the credits they
earned, which will be transferred
into elective credits.
“No matter who you are or
what you’ve taken, you can use
everything you’ve taken up until
now and nothing will be lost,”
Harrison said. “Whatever you’ve
done, you can transition into the
new (requirements) … We will let
students apply 121 as if it were
221, and then it will go towards
the major electives.”
The major electives Harrison
mentioned
are
another
significant part of the changes.
According to Harrison, feedback
from graduating seniors and
outside consultants suggested
students wanted more upper-
level electives that allowed them
to explore their specific interests
further.
“We’ll probably create more
courses at the 300-level, more
topic-specific lectures … we
used to have only a few of them,
but now there’ll be much more
choice with them,” Harrison
said. “I think students will be
thrilled with it. It gives them a
lot more choice.”
Communications
Prof.
Scott Campbell, who is the
most
recent
director
of
the
departmental
Honors
program, is also enthusiastic
about the effect these new
changes will have on the
department.
“I
feel
…
optimistic,”
Campbell said. “One of the
things we’re trying to do is
become a more diverse and
inclusive
program,
and
I
think by loosening up the
requirements, that’s one of the
ways that will help us achieve
that goal.”
Campbell said, while the
changes have no direct effect
on the Honors program, he
hopes
allowing
students
to take more topic-specific
courses earlier on in their
college careers will allow them
to develop stronger interests
and will drive more students
to complete Honors theses.

Communications studies program
changes prerequisites for majors
Two 100-level courses removed from required class list, will count for electives
MAYA GOLDMAN
Daily Staff Reporter
LSA sophomore Sydni Williams
was named the winner of the
inaugural Global Citizen of the Year
Award presented Wednesday by
the Institute for the International
Education of Students, an
international nonprofit organization
that connects colleges and
universities, providing internships
and study abroad programs to
students in over 30 locations around
the world.
According to a IES press release,
the award is given to students who
have “impacted their community
abroad through academic,
philanthropic or personal efforts,”
and “will apply, or are applying,
¬skills and knowledge they learned
abroad to continually bring global
perspectives to their communities.”
Williams, a Spanish major, was
specifically recognized for her work
mentoring and tutoring low-income
students in Madrid. The experience,
she said, reminded her of similar
problems in her hometown.
“My hometown, Detroit, is
a place where many students go
without the educational benefits
that are awarded to the students
in neighboring suburbs, where
students aren’t provided adequate
books to read, the water sometimes
runs brown, and college seems to
be an excellent place, but one that is
unattainable for inner-city youth,”
she said in the release. “I have
made it my life goal to continuously
contribute to my community by
making sure that youth are not
denied their right to an excellent
education.”
During her semester abroad,
Williams said, she saw many of the
stereotypes low-income youth face in
the world of education.
“The problem is not that they are
incapable of learning, or that they
don’t want to, but that the obstacles
that they are faced with daily
sometimes distract them from their
education,” she said.
Williams hopes to take her
career in a similar direction, saying
she plans to start a nonprofit
organization that will give a second
chance to youth who have been
convicted of criminal charges. She
received a $1,000 cash prize as part
of the award.
