BA in Communications

Simmons University - Kaplan International

Communication is key in all aspects of life it is how we interact, connect, and make impressions on each other and the world around us. The Communications degree at Simmons University focuses on how we use messages to generate meaning within and across contexts, cultures, channels, and media. Generating and conveying meaning is central to the work we do in our Communications major, as is an emphasis on media convergence-the intersection and interaction of the multiple media disciplines. The skills attained and fine-tuned in the Communications degree are indispensable for students as they move through networks of the communications fields and professions.
In the Communications major, students master the creative as well as the technical skills necessary to negotiate a collaborative working environment. They think critically about media and apply that thinking to hands-on class projects and exciting internships with companies like the Boston Ballet and Harvard Medical School.

Jobs for communications majors range from working in media, the arts, marketing, public relations, journalism, and various other industries. Job titles for careers in communications include: Public Relations Manager, Content Manager and Strategist
