Professional Communication - Bachelor of Communication Studies

The Professional Communication major in MacEwan University's Bachelor of Communication Studies provides a foundation in writing, editing, research, and rhetoric, preparing graduates for careers across the communication industry. The four-year degree begins with shared communication studies coursework before students choose option courses in strategic communication, editing and publishing, or technical communication in the later years. The program combines practical writing and editing skills with the study of communication theory and rhetorical analysis, giving graduates a versatile skill set for roles in corporate communication, publishing, technical writing, and content strategy. It is delivered through MacEwan University's Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications at the City Centre Campus in Edmonton, Alberta, and builds on a common first-year communication studies foundation shared with the program's other majors.
