An education in Speech Communication emphasizes analytical, research, organizational, strategic, and delivery skills. Students learn about the history, theory, practice, and criticism of communication. The study of Speech Communication prepares students to be effective writers, as well as speakers. Like the other Liberal Arts, Speech Communication ultimately teaches students how to think, rather than a specialized set of knowledge. Thus, a Speech background prepares students for a wide range of possible careers, including the following:

  • Advertising
  • Cable television
  • College or university professor
  • Elementary and secondary education
  • Government
  • Journalism
  • Law
  • Management
  • Ministry
  • Politics
  • Public Relations
  • Radio
  • Sales
  • Sports information
  • Television
  • Video Production
