New Students

Welcome to VT COMM!!

Thank you for your interest in the Department of Communication!  We hope you’ll be joining us soon.

Please check out the information on this site about courses, student organizations, study abroad opportunities and more. You might even take a look at the Alumni section to see what our graduates are doing.  Some day, you may be one of them.

We have a world-class faculty, great students, and a supportive department culture.  To enrich that culture, we understand that we must be diverse in all aspects of community and work in order to be truly outstanding.  For more information about diversity at Virginia Tech, go to www.vt.edu/diversity/

We have provided lots of details on this site, so please take a look at them.  Still have questions?  Be sure to contact us! If you are new to Virginia Tech, please visit before you apply.  If you are currently at Virginia Tech student who hopes to transfer into the major, please attend an information session.
