Careers in Intercultural Communication

Although the information below is excerpted from the Seaver catalogue, this is not an official binding document. To view the actual catalog visit http://seaver.pepperdine.edu/academics/catalog/

The Intercultural Communication sequence is concerned with the communication behavior which occurs when people from different cultures come together and interact with one another. Students interested in careers in which an understanding of cultural adaptation is important will find this sequence beneficial.

Because of our commitment to the liberal arts, and because of the interdisciplinary nature of communication theory and inquiry, students in this major take coursework in speech communication, in mass communication, and in allied areas outside of the division such as business administration, psychology, sociology, or political science.

Students who select the Intercultural Communication sequence must complete an outside concentration of twelve to sixteen upper-division units from another academic discipline. The area of concentration is designed to complement the offerings in the major and is selected in consultation with the major advisor.
