Transferring to Communicaiton Studies
We're glad that you are interested in our program!
If you are interested in applying to become a Communication Studies major as a freshman, or as a transfer student from another university, please make your application request directly with Undergraduate Admissions.
The Department of Communication Studies does not handle application requests directly for first-year students and external transfers, so please do not contact us for admission information.
If you are a current student at Northeastern University who has met the prerequisites and would like to transfer into the Department, come to 101 Lake Hall with your unofficial transcript (obtainable via MyNEU) and complete a Change of Study Petition Form. Following review, the head advisor will accept you into the major.
If you have more questions about our program (after visiting our FAQs page) please contact us.
