Enter the world of communication
Picture yourself at an anchor desk ready to go on air. The lights are bright, the countdown starts, and you're on. Now, imagine yourself speaking to the press on your company's behalf. You're professional, in control, and know exactly what to say. A degree in communication can open the door to a number of career fields, from media and public relations, to marketing, business, consulting, education, writing, editing, and law.
University of Michigan-Flint communication students have access to valuable resources that will help them succeed in whatever career path they choose. The video and editing labs are state-of-the-art, much like the equipment that broadcasting companies use today. Through internships and co-op experiences, students will put the skills and theories that they've learned in the classroom into practice. The Student Communication Association offers students the opportunity to practice their networking skills and make contacts with other professionals entering the field of communication.
Three programs, countless possibilities
Within the communication major, students can choose the general program in communication with an emphasis in relational communication, organizational communication, or media studies; a teacher's certificate program in speech; or the honor's program in communication. Minors in communication and the teacher's certificate in speech are also available.
Choose from one of the audience types below:
Prospective Communication Majors/Minors (for people considering the communication program at UM-Flint)
Current Communication Majors/Minors (for students in the process of completing a major or minor course of study in communication at UM-Flint)
