Communication Studies Concentration

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A DEGREE IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES?

"Employers send a consistent message about what they look for in a college-educated employee: the ability to write clearly, speak persuasively, analyze data effectively, work in diverse groups, and understand the competitive global knowledge environment."
-Kevin Reilly, President, University of Wisconsin

Employers are looking for graduates who can "think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems." And these are exactly the skills we teach our students. Recent communication studies alumni work in account management, corporate communications, development and fundraising, human resources, marketing and events planning, non-profit management, and social media, among other fields.
