Program Description The BA in Professional Communication is an undergraduate completion degree (years' three and four) that examines language, media, culture and technology. The program balances academic education, professional experience and practical skills, and combines a comprehensive overview of communications as an academic field with courses in professional writing, public relations, journalism, public speaking, organizational communication and new media.
Graduates will be able to understand the fundamental concepts, tools, processes and techniques in communication and will have developed interpersonal, teamwork and leadership skills.
This program is delivered as a 12-month on-campus model, which combines years' three and four into an intensive 12-months. There are four terms in the 12-month program which are comparable to full-time university semesters. The terms include four to six courses over a time frame of approximately ten weeks, with an additional week at the end of the last term for final papers and exams. Students are expected to be on campus every day.
