The Communication alumni at Vermont State University alumni have gone on to create major network programming, garner credits in Academy Award-winning movies, and write and edit for large daily newspapers. They have also designed major websites, excelled at graduate school, provided public information for large businesses and non-profits, teach in high schools and universities, practice law, and a wide array of other professional activities.

Key Facts:

State-of-the-Art Technology: You’ll have access to media labs with all the technologies and software you need to create professional-level media: two HD studios, Black Magic cameras, Panasonic broadcast cameras, multiple iMac labs fully equipped with Adobe Creative Cloud, and a state-of-the-art video and production studio.
Hands-on Learning from Year One: Start building skills for communications jobs from your first semester. We put industry-standard equipment and tools in your hands right away and give you the opportunity to use them through experiential learning both inside and outside of the classroom. You’ll graduate with a large skill set and relevant job experience that will put you ahead of your peers.
Real-World Opportunities: Whether you’re reporting on an important local story for News 7, crafting marketing materials for a local business through our Content Lab, or creating a short film to raise awareness for a cause you’re passionate about, you’ll work on real projects that touch real audiences.
Career Variety: Major in a field that opens many doors. Graduates with a communications degree have gone on to be journalists in active newsrooms, earned master’s degrees in film and cinema or business, founded PR agencies, won regional and national Emmys as broadcasters, and landed dream jobs at ESPN, PopSugar, and Lifetime/Hallmark.
