Communication (major)

Do you love to pin it, post it or tweet it? Are teachers routinely praising your writing style? Do you use videos to share what’s on your mind? If so, a Communication degree may be right for you.

Alverno’s Communication major will prepare you to imagine, create and deliver innovative communication using emerging technologies and effective strategies. You will gain essential, current knowledge while enjoying hands-on learning.

This major blends core communication theory and tools with the latest digital production techniques to prepare graduates for success in a dynamic and growing field.

This major requires one minor and follows the general education requirements for standard majors-not science related.
