Shehadeh, M.A. The major in communication prepares graduates to meet today’s ever-growing demand for skilled communicators who have specialized backgrounds in business, science or technology. Course work emphasizing either business, or science and engineering augments a strong foundation in theoretical communication, in visual communication, and in written and oral communication. Graduates of this program are able to plan, research, write, edit and design reports, strategic plans, proposals, articles, brochures and other kinds of communication for both print and electronic delivery. Additionally, students learn to create and deliver effective professional presentations. Graduates specializing in business and marketing communication typically find employment in public relations, marketing, publications research, advertising, copywriting, editing, training and development, public information or customer relations. Graduates specializing in scientific and technical communication are typically employed as technical or scientific writers and editors, documentation designers, technical publications specialists, instructional designers, Web site designers or proposal writers. Degree Requirements Candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Communication require a total of 121 credit hours for graduation. On reaching the junior year, candidates must choose an area of concentration and include 21 credit hours of specialized course work. A senior with a GPA over 3.25 may apply for a six-semester-hour communication internship that reflects the area of concentration.
