LUCRATIVE COMMUNICATIONS DEGREE OPPORTUNITIES

One of the most exciting and rewarding careers today is considered to be in the
field of communications. Qualified individuals can travel several avenues to
arrive at a career that offers challenge, opportunity and substantial rewards.
To enter this dynamic field, one must first earn a communications degree.
Depending upon your career aspirations, you may choose to earn an associate’s
degree, bachelor’s degree or you may even decide to pursue your education to the
master’s level.

Regardless of your career goal, your best choice for a quality communications
degree may be to enroll in an accredited online college offering programs in
communications. Online colleges are becoming an increasingly popular option for
students who find it difficult to attend school on a traditional college
schedule. Most students cite convenience and flexibility as the two major
benefits of online colleges. Another deciding factor for many students is that
tuition is often less at online colleges.

Communications may sound interesting, but perhaps you are wondering just what
type of career a communications degree will lead to. The successful graduate has
a number of options to choose from. A significant advantage of the
communications degree is that is flexible. This degree can open doors to careers
in business, journalism and public service. Some of the more popular job choices
are in:

 * Advertising
 * Human Resources
 * Public Relations
 * Broadcasting
 * Conflict Management
 * Technical Writing
 * Business Communication
 * Interpersonal Relationships
 * Education
 * Speech Writing

Most students will select an area of specialization and concentrate their
efforts in developing expertise in that one area while completing coursework
leading to a well-rounded communications degree. Students engaged in a program
leading to a communications degree should expect to complete coursework in:

 * Theorizing Communication
 * Social Dynamics of Communication Technology
 * Organizational Leadership
 * Communication Ethics
 * Organizational Communication
 * International and Intercultural Communications

Depending upon the area of specialization, the student’s curriculum may include
coursework in:

 * Communication Consulting and Training
 * Strategic and Corporate Communication
 * Interpersonal and Small Group Communication
 * Media Literacy
 * Cultural Aspects of Technology
 * Public Relations
 * Conflict Resolution

These courses are designed to provide the student with the tools required to
recognize and define a variety of communication styles. Students will be able to
define verbal and non-verbal communication and recognize the importance and
effect of both. Students will learn the critical art of negotiating. All of
these skills make the graduate more marketable and better-rounded. The more
expertise you can bring to the interview, the greater your chances of finding
employment.

With a communications degree students will be able to:

 * Develop strategies for successful communication in both their business and
   professional lives.
 * Communicate change. This is essential in most organizational environments.
   Communicators have the expertise to minimize resistance while gaining support
   and commitment.
 * Manage strategic for conflict resolution.
 * Effectively convey messages and information, often to produce a desired
   effect.

To accomplish these tasks, students will be immersed in the latest technologies
that apply to the field of communications.

Communications are the cornerstone of industry, commerce, politics and social
interaction. A communications degree is also evidence of your desire to excel in
your interpersonal relationships. Good communication skills are essential for
industry leaders, educators, broadcasters, writers and politicians.

Professors teaching at online schools and traditional colleges possess identical
credentials. Students have easy access to online professors through discussion
boards, emails and messaging. Many students find that online professors are
actually more accessible than those teaching in lecture-type classrooms. In the
typical college classroom, students may have to compete with hundreds of other
students for attention. Online communication eliminates this competition.

Even though the cost of an online education may be significantly lower than
on-campus programs, some students still need financial aid. The good news is
that grants, scholarships and student loans are awarded without prejudice to
students attending both types of colleges. Online colleges have financial aid
officers to help students secure the funding needed for college.

As with any other program, students need access to the latest reference
materials. Online students can access e-libraries, finding information easily
available. Most textbook publishers will provide either standard college
textbooks or e-books. E-books are often preferred because of their portability.

an accredited online college or university. To find the best online school, the
