As a major in the Department of Communication at the University of Indianapolis, you can expect to receive an excellent education that's grounded in the classic liberal arts tradition. And although you'll specialize in a particular communication area, you'll be encouraged to diversify and expand your horizons by participating in other areas of our department.

Among our students, you'll find electronic media majors writing for the student newspaper, journalists participating on the speech team, and communication studies students working in the television studio or the radio station.

Personal attention and well-rounded experiences give our graduates an edge in the job market. They work for top corporations, public relations firms, magazines, newspapers, major television and radio stations, athletic teams, and in media sales, to name just a few career choices. And many of our students go on to graduate school and careers in academia. Our grads consistently comment on the value of our internship program and on the fact that they had a great deal of hands-on experience and a faculty who supported them.
