Careers in Communication

"Employers send a consistent message about what they look for in a college-educated employee: the ability to write clearly, speak persuasively, analyze data effectively, work in diverse groups, and understand the competitive global knowledge environment."
-Kevin Reilly, President, University of Wisconsin

We know that employers are looking for graduates who can "think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems," and these are exactly the skills you'll learn as a Communication Studies student.

Recent communication studies graduates work in account management, corporate communications, development and fundraising, human resources, marketing and events planning, non-profit management, and social media, among other fields.
