Students with a particular communication career interest not specificially addressed by the existing five majors (Communication Law, New Media - Journalism, Public and Corporate Communication, Public Relations, and Television-Radio) may elect to create an Individualized Major. Working in conjunction with the department's Individualized Major advisor, students may select courses from several VU departments in addition to Communication, or choose combinations of courses from the existing five majors.

Examples of Individualized Majors would include

• Graphics Communication (created by Communication and Art courses),
• Sports Broadcasting (Television - Radio and Physical Education),
• Interpersonal Communication (cross-major courses in Communication),
• International Communication (Communication and Foreign Languages)
• Political Communication (Communication and Political Science).
