Every day something shifts in the world of communications. New technology, social media, mobile devices and analytics are changing the way we communicate at a staggering speed. Being able to navigate the forces that shape news, advertising and other media makes you highly marketable.
At Kansas Wesleyan University, you will receive a liberal arts education that will develop your creative and analytical skills so you can adapt to this fast-paced world. Through your Communications major, you will study communications theory and learn to apply it through campus media opportunities and internships in the Salina community.
Your education will be augmented, too, by the mentoring you receive from KWU faculty, who will help you develop your intellectual and professional skills.
