The minor in information and communication provides students with a theoretical introduction to the main issues relating to information and communication science and opens the door to other domains, depending on the student's chosen course of study.
The proposed program might be considered as additional training, offering the student general skills in communication. This will help him/her to think about how s/he might go about communicating knowledge peculiar to his/her own academic discipline. The program deals as much with communication within a company, an institution or an organization as with media coverage for the general public. In general terms, the minor will increase the student's awareness of this issue whilst also providing him/her with minimal practical skills.
