The Department of Communication offers the strategic communication major, a program rooted in the liberal arts that helps students build the necessary faculties to be highly effective communicators in their professions and in public life. Strategic communication courses teach students to understand their listeners, articulate ideas clearly, argue logically, listen carefully, communicate ethically, unify groups of people under a common goal, and analyze and evaluate how communication works in specific contexts. Moreover, students learn to use the gift of communication as a means of glorifying God, advocating for what is true and just, and bridging divisions between people. Strategic communication alumni choose careers in public relations, advertising, social media, content creation, law, ministry, education, journalism, and politics.
