Welcome from the Chair

Our Department is committed to excellence in the cutting-edge arena of marketing communication planning. We offer undergraduate and graduate programs devoted to a unique, contemporary, integrated approach to marketing, advertising, public relations and health communication education.

Our goal is to prepare students to enter the professional world with the vision and skills necessary to develop and implement all aspects of communication campaigns. Rooted in applied communication studies, the social sciences, and business administration, our courses combine theory and practice to cultivate well-rounded, well-informed young professionals.

We also strive to provide our students with learning experiences beyond the classroom through internships with Industry Partners, organizations, competitions, entrepreneurial opportunities, and events with Marketing Communicators to enhance their capacity for success in the working world.
At the core of all that we do are four values:

• Honesty and Integrity
• Passion for Learning
• Intellectual and Cultural Diversity
• Commitment to the Pursuit of Quality

We invite you to explore our programs, courses, and faculty with these goals and values in mind. If you're interested in information concerning admission to Emerson College, please visit the pages for the undergraduate or graduate admissions offices.
