Interpersonal & Public Communication - Toccoa Falls College

The Communication Studies major offers a concentration in the broader area of Interpersonal & Public Communication (IPC). IPC students will gain insights into the how and why of human interaction, as well as how to strategically represent themselves and organizations. Students in the IPC concentration will have the opportunity to focus on the knowledge and skills essential in leadership, public relations, and a number of other areas supported by the field of human communication. Hands-on experience can be gained through specific involvement in field-related work areas involving our several student-run media outlets and other department related activities.

"The IPC concentration has not only helped me grow in my communication skills, but even more importantly, my relationship skills. My professors have become like family, and this program has allowed me to dive into hands-on learning experiences that I will carry with me wherever the Lord takes me in my future, both professionally and relationally!"

-Madison Smith, Class of 2021
