Communication

Program Overview

Communication skills are essential to sharing information. The Saint Elizabeth University B.A. in Communication Program is dedicated to fostering understanding among individuals and groups, within communities and across societies. The program is sensitive to protecting robust individual freedom in the digital age as well as to promoting responsible communication. It recognizes that individuals play an essential role as information consumers, and organizations play an essential role as producers.

The Bachelor of Arts in communication prepares students by providing them with significant life skills as well as a broad range of career choices. The communication major helps students develop oral, written, and visual communication abilities, along with the knowledge of media technologies used throughout business and government. An important goal of the program is to graduate students who have the well-developed critical thinking ability essential for pursuing 21st century careers, but especially a career as a communication professional.

The program features specializations in public relations and marketing and sports media and esports broadcasting, but students interested in a more general communication education may decide not to declare a specialization by combining communication courses to meet their personal career objectives.
