Overview

The Communication majors at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee go on to all types of work, but the common denominator is that their work most likely involves lots of interaction with others. Sales, marketing, media, public relations, human resources, mediation, law, journalism, merchandising, advertising, education, public office, and social welfare are just a few of the most popular post-college careers. At UWM, students can select their Communication electives from four main areas of study: interpersonal communication; rhetoric and public communication; intercultural communication; or technology and communication.

The Communication major can be completed entirely online if desired. Or, students can mix-and-match online and in-person classes in whatever combination they wish.
