An Invitation
We want to help you become whatever you want to be. The communication world changes rapidly. New technology, new channels, new messaging, and new professional practices drastically change the communication profession every year, affecting how we do our jobs and how we measure our success. Our goal in The Elliott School is to give you a solid foundation so you can adapt to this changing world and be successful in your career from the day you graduate until the day you retire. To make this possible, we focus on a flexible curriculum with real-world, hands-on experience ingrained into our coursework.
The Elliott School of Communication is unique in the region because of its integrated approach to communication education. Our faculty believe that a truly successful communication professional combines skills in speech communication, public relations, advertising, media production, and journalism. In our program you start with an integrated core that teaches fundamental principles. Then you layer on to that professional skills classes designed to bring theory and best practices to life. Finally, each student ends their ESC journey with an applied, hands-on capstone class designed to pull together everything you have learned with us.
In the end you become the communication professional you want to be, with paths open to you in business, government, the non-profit sector, and academia. It’s your path to follow. We invite you to let us join you.
