Embry-Riddle's Communication Degree Opens Doors in Media, Aviation, and Technology Fields
BS Communication/MBA
As our daily lives are increasingly influenced by developments in science
and technology, the demand for skilled communicators in these fields
continues to grow.
Aviation and aerospace industries along with the
vast business sector, for example, require more internal communications
specialists, as well as media and public relations professionals,
to relay information clearly and accurately.
Communication student Rachel Ridder interviews a professional motorcycle racer while she was on an internship recently.
Advances in digital technology routinely spark changes in
the ways people distribute and receive information -- instantaneous
global communication modes will continue to evolve. Naturally,
communicators with technological expertise are in great demand.
Embry-Riddle's unique approach to creating tomorrow's professional
communicators produces graduates who possess the fundamental
skills for today's print, broadcast, and digital media along with
practical perspectives on science and technology
a technical specialty (minor) which can help broaden your career path,
and
a solid background knowledge about aviation/aerospace.
Why Embry-Riddle?
You can acquire all the communication skills for today's print, broadcast
and digital media at many universities -- buy why settle for the ordinary?
Embry-Riddle's Bachelor of Science in Communication degree gives you
all that AND a technical area of concentration (minor) chosen by you
from a wide range of aviation, aerospace, science, and technology
courses we offer. You'll graduate with a specialty -- an area of technical
knowledge -- and the vocabulary to convey it. As a bonus, you'll also
be well-versed in aviation matters.
One fourth of the curriculum in the Embry-Riddle program
is devoted to aviation, aerospace, science, and technology topics,
making it the only one of its kind in the United States.
Internship -- Required Experience

students to put theory into practice. Our students have had enriching
experiences with companies such as American Airlines, NASA, The Daytona
Beach News-Journal, Southwest Airlines, NASCAR, and Boeing International,
to name just a few. Internships can deepen your knowledge and sharpen
your communication skills.
Minor can be a major career factor

Communication program coordinator, you will
select a minor that enhances your
knowledge base and increases your job prospects.
Total credits in the minor vary, depending
on the minor chosen.
The Embry-Riddle Edge

and getting hired by a major aerospace company to be a company spokesperson
or write press releases about the safety of their space vehicles.
They chose you from a number of other candidates because you minored
in aviation safety or human factors or space studies. And, perhaps
you were chosen because you spent four years earning your degree
from Embry-Riddle, the world’s largest, fully accredited university

the traditional ties between Embry-Riddle and the aviation and aerospace
industries.
