UTSA's Communication degree is a flexible and opens the door to a multitude of careers because of its importance in every industry. In this broad program, you'll learn to translate your existing writing, editing, research and presentation skills into marketable assets. Developing these skills will open the door to a variety of industries like telecommunications, advertising, public relations, marketing and corporate communication. At UTSA, you have the option of adding specialized coursework from three different concentrations: Digital Communication, Health Communication and Public Relations. Digital communication lets you explore creating, producing and distributing information in a variety of formats. You will study the principles of writing for various audiences using layout and graphic design, multimedia production, as well as theories for strategic content creation. Students who have a grade point average of 3.25 or above in the Department of Communication (including support work) before the beginning of their final year at UTSA, and whose overall grade point average is 3.0, may earn Honors in Communication. (Students who do not meet the minimum GPA requirements may petition the Honors Committee.) To apply for Honors, Communication majors should submit a substantial paper, multimedia project or electronic project to the Department Honors Committee for approval.
