Bachelor of Arts - Communication Studies

Excellence in communication is a key to personal and professional success. A St. Kate's communication studies major provides a student with theoretical understanding and practical skill in written, oral and electronic communication. Students’ instructors will share their genuine dedication to the responsible use of communication - both verbal and nonverbal - and will work with them to master their craft. The curriculum offers students the opportunity to develop their powers of clear explanation and persuasion, which are the keys to success for professional communicators.

As a communication studies major, students are encouraged to complete internships. Students intern in the communications offices of major corporations and at small businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, advertising and public relations agencies, and radio and television stations and networks. Recent internship sites include Best Buy, BI Performance Services, Dynamark Corporation, Ecolab, Green Tree Financial, Medtronic, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, KMSP-TV, KDWB radio station, and the St. Paul Heritage and Festival Foundation.
