5 reasons to Major in Communications at SFU

5. Employers want workers with strong communication skills. By the time you graduate with a degree in Communications, you’ll have spent years learning ways to convey ideas and information through text, visuals, and graphics.

4. You enjoy experiences that reach beyond your comfort zone. Even if you naturally have strong communication and interpersonal skills, not everything you learn will fit into your current repertoire. This is a good thing! Now is the time to build your portfolio by exploring new opportunities and experiences.

3. You seek hands-on, out-of-classroom experiences. Communications students are “doers.” They envision and create campaigns and put these ideas into writing, film, graphics, or images. Much of what you do will be hands-on, and you'll have opportunities to travel to major cities to network with industry professionals.

1. You want maximum career opportunities when you graduate. Employment in media communication occupations is projected to grow 6 percent for the next 6 years! There are many options for Communications graduates - you might become a designer, public relations specialist, sales manager, web or print reporter, advertising or marketing manager, writer or editor, just to name a few career paths.
