The new curriculum at The Nido Qubein School of Communication will be completed for students entering during the Fall 08 semester. The curriculum is being designed consistent with the following four principles:

1. Communication education is Multidisciplinary. The NQSC recognizes that Communication is enhanced when practitioners are knowledgeable of other academic traditions.

2. Communication education operates in a Global environment. The NQSC recognizes that contemporary communication is not contained by national boundaries but is influenced by local, regional, national and ethnic cultures.

3. Communication education should be Experiential. The NQSC believes that communication theories and processes are best learned through direct and frequent application by students.

4. Communication education must be based on Ethical principles. The NQSC holds that all communication should be readily available, but recognizes that words and images have broad societal impact and should be delivered in appropriate media to appropriate audiences.
