Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

A Communication degree is a very versatile degree. While a student can seek a job in their specialization, a Communication degree also transfers to other occupations. Therefore, a Communication degree generally puts a graduate in higher demand.

The Communication program at Sheridan College is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution and pursue advanced studies in a specialized area of communication: public relations, advertising, journalism, marketing, and broadcasting. This program will introduce students to theories of human communication and explore several communication contexts and functions to prepare the student for advanced study.

A student in the Communication program at Sheridan College can get a general communication emphasis, a journalism emphasis, or a public relations emphasis. Achieving this degree will take you through a variety of courses including Introduction to Mass Media, Introduction to Human Communication, Persuasion, Reporting and Newswriting, Internship, and others.

To enhance the student’s courses and degree experience, a student can also participate in the campus newspaper or on our award-winning Forensics team.
