Bachelor [Communication Studies] From Augustana College

Employers hire people who communicate well. In a 2013 survey of executives nearly all agreed that critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills are essential in new hires.

Communication graduates have the skills employers want. Majors are taught to think about their audience, to ask intelligent questions and to find answers on their own.

Graduates pursue careers in business and industry, education and the non-profit sector. About 95% who have applied to graduate schools have been accepted, most with financial support in the form of free tuition.

Communication studies majors have had internships in a wide variety of non-profit, for-profit, and governmental organizations, including the Girl Scouts, Unity Regional Healthcare, Walt Disney World, Congress and the U.S. Senate.
