Bachelor of Arts in Communication

A degree in communication is all about effectively sharing real stories and messages to impact others. Whether you want to communicate through writing (journalism, press releases, editing), through media (photography, podcasting, video production and editing), or through interpersonal communication (public speaking, persuasion, public relations, health communications), the communication major gives you the skills to make your voice heard.

And those skills open doors to an array of exciting career options that require creativity, interaction, and communication to make the world a better place.

Your ability to communicate well is your ability to become a leader and influencer in the world of tomorrow.
