Why major in communication?
A degree in communication is as versatile as it is engaging. Students who major or minor in communication refine their analytic skills and learn how to distill and express complex ideas. Communication graduates enter the workforce equipped with a diverse skillset and practical knowledge and experience that employers are seeking.
100 percent of communication majors of the class of 2021 reported landing a job within six months of graduation.
Communication majors learn foundational skills related to crafting messages, understanding audiences, and working with new technologies. Our students examine the relationship between communications and society while conducting hands-on experiential learning projects and integrating their other passions and interests. Many of our students choose to double major or add a minor to their communication degrees to create a future that excites them and allows them to explore a wide variety of fields.
Students analyze communication and media of today and the past to help define and understand our place in the world. Our program emphasizes rhetoric, the art of persuasion in writing or speaking, to provide a strong framework for critical thinking that prepares the student for a rapidly changing future.
