Welcome to the Western States Communication Association (WSCA), founded in 1929. WSCA is a not-for-profit educational association of scholars, teachers, and students of communication with over 1,000 members from around the globe.

WSCA publishes two scholarly journals--Western Journal of Communication and Communication Reports--as well as a newsletter, WSCA News. Follow the links under Publications to learn more about the journals and the newsletter.

WSCA also hosts an annual convention. In February 2021, Chapman University will host us in Irvine, California to explore the theme "Cultivate." WSCA conventions provide wonderful opportunities to learn about and discuss current issues in communication, while also offering opportunities for networking and socializing. More information about the 2021 convention is available on this site under WSCA Convention, 2021 Convention in Denver.
