BA/BS in Communication and Media Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in Communication at Marymount University trains students for careers such as PR, strategic messaging and similar fields. Coursework centers on building research-informed campaigns, writing persuasive messages and producing content for digital, print and in-person audiences. Students work in small classes taught by faculty who bring both industry and academic backgrounds. Practical experience begins early in the degree, and learners have chances to take on real clients while assembling a professional portfolio of their work. The campus sits only minutes from Washington, D.C., a city with a strong concentration of communication employers. That proximity gives students access to internships, networking and a professional setting for applying what they learn in class. Within the university it sits under the Sciences and Humanities college, in its social and behavioral sciences department, and the Apply Now link on the university site is the place to begin an application.
