Online Bachelor's Degrees in Communication Arts

Communication is more than conversation. Communication is every way we relate to one another: through images, writing, music and speech. Corporations need effective communicators to help them convey the corporate mission to employees, shareholders, and clients. They need communications specialists to advertise their products and services. If you are a strong verbal and visual communicator, a degree in communications arts from an online university will give you the tools to turn your talents into a career.

In a communications degree program you would study theory of mass communication, professional writing, intercultural communication, and visual communication. Often, you will have a choice of classes about film and Internet communications. Communications majors often find jobs with newspapers, magazines and in television.

Jobs in communications include technical writing, which entails anything from writing software manuals to scientific reports to web content. The median entry-level salary for technical writers is $42,000 (BLS). Corporations also need communications specialists to write and design newsletters, annual reports, and marketing materials. Median annual earnings are around $44,000 per year. The entry-level salaries in these fields are lower due to fierce competition, but with experience salaries tend to rise dramatically. No degree program can guarantee employment or a specific salary, but employers in this field require a bachelor's degree at a minimum.
