Professional Communication

With a professional communication degree at Grace College, you’ll gain valuable skills in collaboration, problem resolution, and communication in an organizational work environment. You’ll be equipped to work in administration and human resources, where your tasks may include handling team conflicts and supporting employees. 

Our communication program views communication as an essential part of the human experience. Jesus spoke to others through parables, tailoring his messages to meet specific people with particular needs. At Grace, we seek to imitate this example by adapting our communication to others’ needs.

As a professional communication major at Grace, you’ll take a variety of classes in the humanities, business, and behavioral science. You’ll be prepared for effective communication, professional management, and social psychology.  As you begin your upper-level courses, you’ll choose electives in subjects ranging from business, psychology, and communication. 

The professional communication program culminates in an internship. You’ll gain real-world experience in a local corporation, marketing company, HR department, or church, where you’ll collaborate with others in a professional setting. 

When you graduate with a professional communication degree, numerous career opportunities are available to you. With a deep understanding of how to communicate effectively with others in various settings, you could lean into different aspects of the corporate world, whether that means spearheading a social media campaign as a brand manager, leading a retail team as a sales manager, or empowering students as an HR communications coordinator in the public school system.
