In-demand skills. The demand for internal communications specialists is expected to grow, as is the demand in related fields of corporate communication and general management. In fact, many employers rank oral and written communication among the top skills they look for in job applicants — even higher than technical or job-specific skills. The knowledge you'll gain throughout the business communication program will ensure you have what employers are looking for.

Similar to all UW-Eau Claire business degrees, this program will focus on experiential learning inside the classroom through real-world examples, as well as emphasizing the importance of — and assisting you in obtaining — relevant internships.
