Communication Studies, BA
Come to USF and explore all aspects of communication, from the public practices of health, public relations, and protest to the private interactions of family, friends, and strangers.
What Is Communication Studies?
Communication studies addresses the ways in which words, images, gestures, and symbols reflect and affect human behavior. At USF, we explore the many ways that communication can be used — and sometimes abused — to effect change in culture, health care, politics, business, and every other realm in which people express themselves.
Why Study Communication at USF?
Study communication in San Francisco, where technology, culture, and social change intersect. Immerse yourself in the city known for activism, creativity, and community impact. At USF, you'll examine how messages shape people's lives and relationships, how communities organize for change, and how storytelling drives action.
What Can You Do With a Communication Studies Degree?
Build experience through internships, community partnerships, and hands-on projects. Pursue careers in public relations, marketing, advertising, social media, and television. Communication graduates have secured roles at Amazon, the Golden State Warriors, Salesforce, and Walt Disney Studios, while others start businesses or attend graduate school.
