Bachelor of Arts in Science Communication

The major in science communication focuses on public understanding of science, technology, and the environment, as well as skills in effective and innovative communication of complex and controversial science issues. Courses in the major focus on practical, hands-on learning. They cover the dynamics of organizational and cultural communication, including conflict management, socialization, group dynamics, decision-making processes, multicultural/multinational workplaces, communication theory, and emerging technology. A major in science communication opens a wide range of career options. Graduates of this program are uniquely prepared for careers in human resources, community/international development, community relations and mediation, cultural and diversity needs assessment, international education programs, customer relations, sales/account representation, employee relations, management, training and development, political organizing, and international mediation, among others. A communication degree is also good preparation for graduate professional programs such as law school and doctoral programs.
