Program Overview
In the 100% online Bachelor of Science in Communication program (emphasis in Strategic Message Design & Human Interaction) you will learn branding and marketing on social media platforms, how to evaluate what makes an effective post, the content creation process, and how to develop a strategic plan for public outreach.
Through superior teaching, experiential learning, and educational activities that promote both critical and creative thinking, you will have the opportunity to develop and sharpen your written, verbal, and visual communication skills. While these skills are critical for all jobs, for those who want to pursue opportunities in Business, Public Relations, Marketing, or Social Media Management, strong communication abilities are key to a successful career.
As part of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Communications program encourages a sense of “community” wherein collaboration, diversity, respect for all people, civility, and shared governance are cultivated. As the premier liberal arts college in the intermountain west, it provides the individual freedom for students to find and follow the passion that will allow them to excel in their careers, their community, and their families.
As a graduate of this program, you will:
- Learn a functional approach to public outreach and interaction.
- Evaluate methods of branding and advertising and learn how to apply those methods.
- Develop the skills necessary to implement successful communication strategies in a variety of contexts.
- Be prepared to enter the workforce or enroll in a graduate program.
This program prepares you for roles such as:
- Public Relations Specialist
- Media Planner
- Social Media Manager
- Copywriter
- Journalist
Students graduating from our communications programs traditionally rank high in regional and national competitions for journalism, broadcasting, and creative media. Excellent student-teacher ratio and online student support benefits students in terms of instruction and experience, providing an education not available at other institutions.
