Welcome Home
The Princeton Review recognized the NQSC as a top program for communication professionals. Our faculty combine traditional liberal arts education with professional application. We have created curriculum and experiential opportunities to provide students the life skills to become leaders and engaged citizens.
HPU’s liberal arts education is vital to our students’ success because, in the communication discipline, we tell stories. Stories connect us and that connection requires a vocabulary to give voice to others’ stories. To develop this vocabulary, we need to explore the history and literature of different groups and different times. We need to know about science and music, business and art. This vocabulary is enhanced by studying different academic traditions, which allows us to talk to people of different backgrounds and different perspectives. We provide students the tools to use this vocabulary to communicate clearly with others, an essential requirement for most employers.
The NQSC prepares students to be better communicators and citizens in an interconnected world. With our emphasis on technology, media, written and spoken communication as well as our attention to diversity and real-world applications, we equip students with the life skills that help them achieve extraordinary goals and interact with diverse people across the globe.
