The Bachelor of Arts in Communication

The bachelor of arts (B.A.) in communication offers an integrated introduction to the communication arts and technologies through a humanizing course of study in concert with introductory and advanced production-oriented classes. The B.A. in communication describes, at its most general level, the creation, transmission, and evaluation of messages at all levels, for commercial or noncommercial purposes, and prepares individuals to apply the principles of communication to work in varied media. This includes instruction in modes and behavioral aspects of human communication, the formal means by which society organizes communication, and the role of communication in culture.

Students in the communication program benefit from the University's suburban campus, located 20 miles from the world's media hub-New York City-affording internships and job placement in every facet of the field. Top area professionals serve as faculty members, ensuring the best possible classroom experience.

With comprehensive specialization in all aspects of communication, the Bachelor of Arts in communication program can provide for any student's academic needs. The four main concentrations - Interpersonal Communication, Journalism/Public Relations, Media Studies and Media Production, and Theatre and Comedy - offer a combination of understanding through study as well as hands-on experience.
