Global Communication

Overview

The Global Communication major focuses students on building skills, attitudes, and knowledge as critical global citizens, competent intercultural communicators, and globally minded individuals. We do this through a variety of different methodological approaches including the social scientific study of public discourse, the humanist study of cultural texts, and the qualitative and quantitative study of intercultural exchanges.

The Global Communication degree at USU is unique. This program is the only four-year degree dedicated to a robust understanding of global communication in Utah, and it is one of only a handful of programs nationwide. The program specializes in giving the students tools to understand cultural systems and prepare them to work effectively and meaningfully in an increasingly global environment.

Career Application

Communication is a critical and highly valued skill in a professional workplace, and that value is multiplied when applied to international organizations. Graduates of this program will be well-prepared to continue their education in graduate or law school, but can also seek employment as international managers, consultants, human resource specialists, and much more.
