1. At USA you can select your major concentration and focus your curriculum in a specific area of communications.
Students can concentration in strategic communications, which focuses on PR and advertising. That is my concentration, and I absolutely love it. Other concentrations include, journalism, digital cinema and television, and communication studies. Each concentration has unique courses in their curriculum.
2. As a Communications major, you do a lot of projects and presentations.
Of course, this wouldn't be a communications degree if you didn't have to write papers and prepare presentations. Our assignments are always interesting though. Like today, I presented a group project in one of my classes, and we chose to rebrand the restaurant Applebee's for the project.
3. Classes always involve interesting discussions about current events
In most of my classes, we will spend time discussing current events as they relate to the topic at hand. I've been a part of discussions about so many different topics. It's so interesting to see how pervasive and relevant the field of communications is to society.
4. Even writing can be creative and fun.
In fact, I'm currently working on writing a case study for my media ethics class on a crisis that cosmetics company faced earlier in the year. I love that I get to research about any topic that I want and still make it applicable to the field.
5. You get to learn more about inner workings of advertising and public relations.
Advertising and PR are much more complex than some people imagine. I've loved learning about all the different approaches to each field.
