Communication Arts

Communication Arts explores the world of communications with a focus on oral presentation, drawing on the university’s co-curricular program in theatre.

Students take courses in acting, script writing, and voice and articulation, among others. They also may participate in RSU Theatre, which presents several full-scale productions each year.

The National Association of Colleges and Employees rated “communication skills” highest among attributes necessary in achieving professional success.

In addition to being an excellent pre-law degree or pre-seminary degree, the communication arts option prepares students for careers such as:

• business operations manager
• media planner
• customer service representative
• sales associate
• management trainer/developer
• communication consultant
• human resources manager
• political campaigner
• theater director and actor
