About

A Bachelor of Arts in Communication will prepare you for a wide variety of careers from broadcasting to public information, script writing, editing, public relations, journalism, advertising, and more.

You will be able to pick from three emphasis areas: cultural and relational communication, business communication and public relations, and new media studies and mass communication. In addition, you will be required to take a minor to further cultivate your degree to your professional interests.

Our program will teach you how to investigate and understand how people communicate across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media. Through both theory and practice, you will learn communication techniques and technologies critical to research and evaluation, storytelling, presenting, leadership, and collaboration.

You will also be able to grow outside of the classroom through clubs and organizations on campus, internships in Northwest Indiana and Chicago, and professional opportunities.
