BA in Communications at Thomas More College Kentucky
The academic programs in Communication prepare students for graduate school, business, teaching, public relations, media and other related careers. Students, in consultation with Communication faculty, build upon the required Communication coursework with the use of electives, independent studies, co-ops, interdisciplinary coursework and consortium courses to develop focused concentrations in general communication, communication-drama, mass media, public relations, speech audiology and pathology (communication disorders), and speech education. Any student interested in coursework relating to these concentrations should speak with a faculty member about how the degree in Communication may facilitate the achievement of his or her specific educational and career goals.
Communication students are encouraged to explore doing the Communication intern and co-op experiences as a part of their program study.
