Four people sit around a conference table engaged in discussion. One woman gestures as she speaks while others listen, with laptops and notebooks open in front of them. The setting appears to be a classroom or meeting room.

Study human connection—and the science behind it.

Explore the science behind how people connect, influence and understand one another in a world transformed by technology. At the University at Buffalo, communication is a science—you’ll study how messages influence behavior, how media affects what we think and how technology changes the way we interact. You’ll work with faculty on real research projects and build skills in writing, data, technology and problem-solving. If you’re curious about how communication shapes everyday life, the Department of Communication is a great place to turn that interest into a future career.
