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.
