Corporate Communication
Be Part of the Solution
On the leading edge. More corporations are expanding their communication efforts to better position themselves in an ever-changing marketplace. Marquette University is one of the few universities to offer a corporate communication major.
Be strategic. Courses in the corporate communication major focus on critically evaluating organizational needs and framing strategic responses that work in a variety of settings.
Be an advocate. Drawing on Marquette's Jesuit tradition, you will develop the tools to become a voice for more socially responsible corporations.
Crossing boundaries. The communication issues that face corporations are not contained in a single department. As a result, the interdisciplinary focus of the corporate communication major draws from multiple areas in communication as well as business.
Develop a vision. Learn how you can be central to helping a corporation establish a distinct identity in a global environment with a corporate communication major.
Beyond the classroom. In addition to internships, several classes put you in an organizational context that requires you to apply communication theories, principles and practices. Gain the flexibility to adapt to trends in corporate life, within departments and across organizations.
Be heard. One of the greatest challenges facing organizations today is being heard in an information-saturated environment. The corporate communication major gives you a seat at the table when decisions are being made about how to strengthen a corporation's voice.
