Careers in Communication Studies

What key factors distinguish an Emerson College education? Project-based academic preparation, participation in numerous co-curricular activities, and industry experience gained from internships and other employment opportunities. This is the kind of blend that will help you to succeed in the marketplace.

Employers also value the ability of Emerson graduates to communicate concepts and ideas. Our Career Services department helps you to develop these and other business skills through individual appointments, workshops, industry panels and visits, and other programs that bring the world of communications and the arts to the Emerson campus.

Our Communication Studies graduates are applying their skills in communication, advocacy, leadership, management, and politics in areas such as human resources, legislative staffing, and community organization.
