Across disciplines and industries, employers in B.C. and Canada list communications skills as a must-have. Indeed, to succeed in today’s high-tech, info-crazed world, the ability to weave words and images together is essential. Whether it’s an email message, oral presentation, résumé, magazine article, how-to-manual, travel brochure, novel, bus billboard, web page, or even a cereal box, communications material has to be written and presented in a clear and compelling style to appeal to its intended audience. UFV's communications major is designed to give you a strong foundation in essential communication theory and practical skills. Every student pursues either a practicum, co-op placement, or project management course that develops job-ready skills. You'll also have room to specialize in courses that line up with your interests and lead to a career you're passionate about. You'll graduate ready for a range of career possibilities: social media manager, advertising copywriter, public relations manager, publicity agent, technical writer, technical editor, speechwriter, grant writer, or fundraising consultant.
