Bachelor of Arts - Communications - Journalism (Women only)

In the Communications major, students master visual, creative, and technical skills within a collaborative working environment. They think critically about the media and apply their skills to hands-on class projects and exciting internships with companies like the Boston Ballet and Harvard Medical School.

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 major in communications focuses on how people use messages to generate meaning within and across all kinds of contexts, cultures, channels, and media. Generating and conveying meaning is central to the work we do in the Department of Communications, as is an emphasis on media convergence—the intersection and interaction of the multiple media disciplines. The skills attained and fine-tuned in the Bachelor of Arts in Communications program are indispensable for students as they enter the many fields and niches of communications.
