Declared Majors

Welcome to the Communication and Media Major!

Communication and Media majors are students who have declared a major in the Department of Communication and Media. They are encouraged to schedule in-person, virtual, and phone appointments with our faculty and professional advisors. Departmental advisors can assist with:

  • An overview of the major and its requirements
  • Tracking academic progress in the major
  • Submitting electronic major release forms for graduation
  • Providing referrals for concerns beyond the scope of the department

Students are also welcome to email commadvisor@umich.edu with any simple questions or in the event that an appointment time is not accessible for them. Students can typically expect to receive a response in 24-48 hours.

Our advisors are experts on the Communication and Media major. For further advising on college-wide degree requirements, policies, or academic standing, please contact your general academic advisor. For advising on internships and careers, please connect with the LSA Opportunity Hub and U-M Career Center.
