BA in Communication

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. An important goal of the program is to graduate students who have well-developed critical thinking ability essential for pursuing 21st century careers, but especially a career as a communication professional. The communication major features specializations in mass media and broadcasting and public relations, but students interested in a more general communication preparation may decide not to declare a specialization by combing communication courses to meet their personal career objectives.
