The W.P. Carey School of Business has partnered with the Hugh Downs School of Communication to offer students an innovative new degree. The B.A. in Business Communication will train future leaders in message-related human behavior for the purpose of improving communicative interactions. This field has exploded with companies requiring more rapid and considered response beyond ordinary events to crisis communications. Historically in corporations these positions have been staffed with people trained in communication, English, journalism or other fields who lacked specific business knowledge. Graduates of this program will be better qualified to enter these positions with knowledge that will be immediately useful to potential employers and should advance their career progress.As part of the W. P. Carey community, you have access to a comprehensive advising program that will help you get on the right track to graduation.
