The world of business, government, military, and charitable organizations needs communication professionals. Many of these people will end up in the business sector, where public speaking, company and consumer research, conflict resolution skills, and acceptance of ethnic differences are requirements for successful business relations. Those public speaking, oral interpretation, and performance studies classes will be especially beneficial for graduates who end up in the public eye. These are just some of the skills communication students gain. Then there is the Graduate Program.
Opportunities exist for bright communication students in graduate school.
They work on research projects in depth, continuing their studies and striving to get their work published. Some will go on to become professors. They will be working for you someday. This semester, the ACA opened four internship positions. The interns assist at ACA sponsored functions, write and deliver speeches on communication topics, and coordinate the conferences.
