COMMUNICATION STUDIES AT eUREKA
The Communication major provides students with the means to understand human communication as a tool and the means to grasp challenges and problems in the field of communication. Since communication is interdisciplinary, communication students gain skills that prepare them for careers in public relations, human relations, publishing, journalism, sales, education, customer service, training, management, human resources, broadcasting, communications, and other areas that require strong speaking, writing, and symbolizing abilities.
