Professional Communication Minor
Words have power.
The professional communication minor will prepare students from all disciplines to communicate persuasively, clearly and effectively in professional settings, thereby contributing to the economic growth of the state and region. Majors who have well-rounded communication backgrounds find careers as human resources representatives, communication specialists, lawyers, editors, publishers, copywriters, event planners, website designers, writers, freelance writers and grant writers in business, government, academia and the nonprofit sector. Combining the minor with majors in areas such as social sciences, natural sciences, health fields, economics and business will provide transferable communication skills, making graduates more marketable for positions that require higher-level communication skills.
