Bachelor in Strategischer Kommunikation

Students who study Strategic Communication at Washington and Lee benefit from a liberal arts education provided through a professional prism. By offering students the best of both, we prepare them to participate in a democratic society by teaching them to think critically, to communicate clearly, and to fully recognize the role of news, public relations and other forms of media in a free society.

As the only accredited journalism and mass communications department in a small, highly selective, nationally ranked liberal arts college, we are committed not only to broadening minds, but also to inculcating habits of honor, careful analysis, reasoned discourse and excellent writing in an increasingly diverse and pluralistic culture.

Through our signature Knight Program in Media Ethics, we ensure that students understand the ethical dimensions of the decisions they will make.
