Human Communication Sciences Minor

https://communication.northwestern.edu/academics/communication-sciences-and-disorders/undergraduate-programs/minor-human-communication-sciences.html

The minor in human communication sciences enables students to expand their understanding of the physical and physiological principles underlying communication. The minor is suited to students who want to learn about communication-based health issues, or to apply the knowledge and skills gained from their major to health-related industries by which they can help others. It is a strong complement to studies in therapies that use art, dance, or theatre to reach children with learning disabilities or other developmental difficulties.
