The Communication program at SUU is centered on experiential learning. The university has its own SUTV station, KSUU Thunder 91 radio station, The Journal weekly university newspaper, and the Centurium Consulting Group advertising agency on campus. As early as the freshman and sophomore years, students operate the equipment and gain valuable hands-on experience that will be a huge asset in graduate school or when looking for a first job after college.

Every student in the Communication program also completes an internship and often these lead directly to career opportunities after graduation.

Communication students may also earn a Certificate in speech presentation, if desired. This is excellent preparation for those who are interested in a future career as a political speechwriter or ghostwriter.

By the time students have completed the four-year Communication bachelor?s degree program at Southern Utah University, they are well prepared to gain an entry-level position in the Communication field or enter a graduate program in Communication.
