BA/BS in Communication and Media Studies

Texas A&M International University offers a BA in communication as a undergraduate program. The curriculum studies how people create, share and interpret messages across media and everyday settings. The requirements described here come from the 2026-2027 academic catalog, which is the reference students use when planning their coursework and tracking progress toward the credential. The degree plan totals 120 semester credit hours. Students complete the university core curriculum, major requirements and electives, with part of the work taken at the advanced level. Course codes, prerequisites and any repeatable topics are spelled out in the catalog, so advisors and students can map each term against the plan and see how the pieces fit together over time. Students should review the catalog entry for course listings, prerequisites and the general requirements for graduation that apply to every degree. Prospective students can use the catalog page as a starting point and confirm current deadlines and procedures with the relevant university office before applying.
