The Bachelor of Arts in communication prepares students by providing them with significant life skills as well as with a broad range of career choices. The communication major helps students develop oral, written, and visual communication abilities along with the knowledge of computer technology required throughout business and government. The combined B.A./M.A. Program in Communication consists of both CSE undergraduate courses and FDU graduate courses. CSE Communication students admitted into the Program will be required to take nine specified credits of FDU graduate courses during their senior undergraduate year, which will count towards satisfying the degree requirements of their FDU degree. The M.A. coursework typically takes one extra school year, including one summer or winter session course. This structure will provide students who enroll in the Program on a full-time basis the ability to complete the Program in five years.
