Communication
Widespread use of social media, increasing globalization and the
recognition that effective communications influence all areas of
society — these factors have sparked a growing demand for skilled,
well-informed and sophisticated communication specialists.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for
global communication specialists will be strong through 2018. The
field spans such vital areas as public relations, journalism,
strategic marketing, speechwriting, public policy and higher
education.
You can prepare for these exciting opportunities through the new
Master of Science in International Communication at St. John’s
University. Offered by the College of Professional Studies, the
program is designed to enable students to become global
communications leaders in a variety of media.
