  • Strategic Communication

Strategic communication majors help their organization determine the best way to communicate, tell a story and meet business goals. Think of strategic communication as an umbrella term, encompassing the fields of public relations, marketing and advertising.

Our program prepares you for an exciting and fast-growing profession while allowing you to complete real-world campaigns and projects for community clients and gain experience. You will have internship opportunities with nonprofits, corporations or advertising agencies to gain skills in professional communication, strategic planning, writing, graphic design, event planning, media relations and digital technology.

As a strategic communication major, you’ll concentrate in one of two areas—public relations or organizational communication—and focus on gaining professional experience.

The Options are Limitless

You can earn either a Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Communication or a Bachelor of Science in Strategic Communication from Indiana Wesleyan University; a minor in Strategic Communication is another excellent option that will complement your studies at IWU, setting you apart in the job market and allowing you to pursue the career of your dreams.

Get great experience through IWU’s chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America. PRSSA provides you with the opportunity to gain hands-on professional experience, find internships and network with PR pros.

Faculty

Professors who are practitioners, too

IWU communication professors bring academic accomplishments and professional experience to strategic communication classes. You will learn from experts in the industry who have worked in local and national television, radio, print, and online media in corporate and nonprofit organizations.

Our faculty encourage participation in the IWU chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America and serve as mentors to students as they advance in their studies and into the world.
