The Strategy Communication program combines both academic knowledge of fundamental theories, concepts, and applications of strategic communication and an overview of practices in communication management: research design, planning, implementation and evaluation. Strategic communication is one of the foundations for the success of organizations and corporations across all industries, both in the for-profit and the non-profit space. It is also an important part of politics, social change, and health care innovation. Students enhance their abilities to advantageously influence and further an organization’s mission through communication – making them invaluable in virtually any business. Students’ expertise are broadly applicable to roles that require them to develop communication strategies, create meaningful messaging for different target audiences, and advise company leadership in making sound decisions when communicating with their employees, the public, investors, and other stakeholders.
This programme is widely taught as full time, part-time, distance or sandwich at most levels.
