Communication Majors RAP Fall 2023

The Communication Majors RAP is a wonderful opportunity for first-year students to connect with other Communication majors, take an introductory course in a small group rather than a large lecture format, and learn about opportunities within the Department of Communication at UMass Amherst.

Any student entering UMass as a Communication Major can join this RAP.

When you join this RAP you will...

  • Enroll in Comm 118: Introduction to Interpersonal Communication and Culture in a small setting.
  • Share your living-and-learning experience with a community of motivated Communication Majors.
  • Meet faculty advisors who will visit your RAP class to answer your questions and give you information on course selection, major requirements, and other opportunities.
  • Receive advice and support from Communication Peer Advisors who are specifically assigned to work with Comm RAP students.

COMM 118: Introduction to Interpersonal Communication and Culture

Students will live together in Pierpont Hall in Southwest Residential Area.

In this class, we focus on acquiring a principled understanding of everyday, face-to-face interaction as the process by which we create, maintain, and manage social experience. Students acquire vocabulary and concepts to account for, analyze, and evaluate interpersonal communication in social and cultural context.
