Every aspect of human behavior is driven by communication, and any interaction can find its success or failure in proper communication. A degree in Human Communication from Indiana Wesleyan University gives you comprehensive preparation in Christ-centered communication theory and practice, equipping you for graduate study or a variety of careers.
As part of our program, you will gain a better understanding of conflict resolution, influence, problem solving, cultural competencies, and leadership.
With a degree in Human Communication, you can assume a range of roles — anything from ministry and university teaching to professional workplace and community service. Occupational studies consistently show that all employers, regardless of profession, place oral and written communication skills at the top of the list when looking to hire.
Human Communication is an excellent complement to other areas of study at IWU, making you stand out in the job market and giving you flexibility in your choice of career.
