About Communication Degree
Business communications professionals need a broad range of skills outside of technical expertise. These
professionals often must understand cross-culture communication, as many companies communicate regularly
with people in other cultures and countries. They must be able to express themselves clearly, both in
speaking and writing, and know how to work with small groups and large groups and in one-on-one situations.
Within the communication studies major, students may choose general study or a more structured track in
business communication, journalism, speech communication, or technical communication. With our advanced
start program, students with associate's or bachelor's degrees can earn a BS in Communication in under two
years.
Scope of Communication Degree
The ability to communicate effectively is essential. Many entry-level public relations specialists have a
college major in public relations, journalism, advertising, or communication. Some firms seek college
graduates who have worked in electronic or print journalism. Other employers seek applicants with
demonstrated communication skills and training or experience in a field related to the firm’s
business—information technology, health, science, engineering, sales, or finance, for example. The
International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) also has an accreditation program for
professionals in the communications field, including public relations specialists. Those who meet
all the requirements of the program earn the Accredited Business Communicator (ABC) designation.
