In the Communications Certificate Program, students get hands-on instruction in spoken and written communications, and choose from relevant courses in other departments, such as sociology, philosophy and modern languages. Graduates gain a solid foundation to start a career in communications or for further education in other fields.

Graduates of the Communications Certificate Program work in entry-level positions in the fields of communications and public relations. Those who want to continue their studies can complete an additional year in communications and other arts courses to earn an Associate of Arts Degree with a specialization in Communications.
