What Can I Do with a Strategic Communication and Organizational Studies Degree?

The combination of social science, communication, and quantitative skills aligns well with in-demand roles in business, nonprofits, healthcare, education and government. A graduate may go on to pursue a career as a: 

  • Community relations manager
  • Corporate communications associate
  • Employee engagement specialist
  • Government or public service administrator
  • Human resources specialist
  • Program coordinator (nonprofit or higher education)
  • Training and development coordinator

In Pennsylvania alone, there are over two million adults with some college experience but no degree.

This program is built exactly for that moment.
