This minor empowers students to communicate reflectively in a diverse, multicultural and global society. With a distinct focus on critical and cultural communication theories and social justice frameworks, students are equipped with opportunities and tools necessary for understanding culturally complex circumstances, issues and needs that arise in personal relationships, civic settings, and other social and mediated contexts. Skills developed in this minor prepare students with confidence to more effectively listen, analyze, adapt and respond to communication contexts in ways that cultivate inclusive environments, cultures and just relations.

Admission to the Minor
Admission to JMU does not guarantee admission to the School of Communication Studies . All students interested in minoring in the program must apply for a limited number of spaces by enrolling in and successfully completing SCOM 240 and SCOM 240L . In order to register for these classes, students must declare the Cultural Communication minor to register for SCOM 240 and SCOM 240L . The School of Communication Studies reviews performance in the SCOM 240 /SCOM 240L class to make decisions about acceptance into the minor each semester.
Admission to the minor is based on availability to the most qualified students as determined by performance in SCOM 240 and SCOM 240L .
Students who are not admitted are permitted one more attempt to successfully meet performance requirements in SCOM 240 /SCOM 240L by enrolling the next regular semester or in the summer if the student desires. For students retaking SCOM 240 /SCOM 240L (whether repeat or repeat/forgive), the school will look only at their highest grades earned when evaluating their second attempt.
Once admitted into a Communication Studies minor, a student cannot retroactively apply more than nine hours of SCOM courses, including SCOM 240 and SCOM 240L , to their minor (SCOM 121 /SCOM 122 /SCOM 123 does not count towards those nine hours).
Choose two: 6 Credit Hours
