Communication Studies, BA

At its core, Communication Studies is about storytelling-sharing ideas in ways that inform, inspire, and create meaningful change. In this program, students develop practical skills in speaking, writing, media strategy, digital design, and ethical communication, while also exploring the legal, cultural, and technological forces-including AI-that are shaping the future of the field. In this program, students learn to think critically and creatively, developing the ability to create messages that shape not only their careers, but also society as a whole.

Communication Studies is an ideal complement to other majors or minors. Students drawn to sports, business, political science, the arts, and more will find that this degree equips them with the flexibility to broaden their career options while grounding them in a sense of purpose and impact. Students graduate ready for today’s fast-moving media landscape, prepared for jobs that don’t even exist yet-and equipped with the tools for building their personal brand and advocating for the causes that matter. This is more than a career-it’s a path to make a difference in the world. The Communication Studies major earns a B.A. degree.
