Business and Communication

About This Area of Study

It’s no surprise these two areas go hand in hand. To run a good business, one must be an effective communicator. But this area of study goes beyond that with programs that focus on management, tech support, buying and selling ideas through compelling marketing, and even the operation of complex audiovisual equipment.

What You Can Expect to Do

Understanding how words and numbers can impact a business or the general public is a key pillar of a business or communications degree. On the business side, accounting, finance and real estate are some of the more popular programs to consider. Well-known professions such as journalism, advertising and publishing are strong examples in the communications field.
