More about our degrees

Every Solution Begins with Communication

All students must choose a specialization, but with the flexibility built into the curriculum, they may also double- or triple-specialize, provided they have room in their educational plan to do so. Our major prepares you for a diverse range of careers, including in journalism, politics, environmental and health advocacy, public relations, non-profits, health, human resources, the law, media, sports, academia, and entrepreneurship.

Internships are a key part of your education, with opportunities at PR agencies, news outlets, arts organizations, political, legal and social justice advocacy organizations, non-profits and other organizations across Seattle.

Participation in student clubs and activities can help you build skills, explore career options and possibilities, and develop relationships with your peers, faculty, and professionals in a wide range of fields. The highly successful Debate Team offers hands-on experience that increases critical thinking and knowledge of the world and improves written and oral expression. The Public Relations Student Society of America connects students to working PR pros and provides professional development activities. Student media, including the Spectator and KXSU offer students a chance to get hands on experience in writing, reporting, and broadcasting.
