A communication degree demands students think critically, creatively and independently; write correctly and clearly; and to work ethically in pursuit of accuracy, fairness and diversity. Whether you want to become a professional writer, leader in the field of creative advertising or a top public relations executive, a communication degree from Florida Tech develops a strong background in communication with experience in both print and electronic publishing.

Military Option

The military option prepares Florida Tech ROTC cadets to serve as commissioned officers in the United States Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard. Technical, scientific and military studies are incorporated into the curriculum with emphasis on applied leadership and problem-solving skills.
Current first- and second-year students who have no prior military service and who seek an Army ROTC scholarship may attend the 32-day Leader's Training Course that provides basic military and problem-solving skills combined with physical training. Students incur no service commitment on completion of this course.
Graduates with a communication degree are able to create effective communication analyses and campaigns, write for a broad range of audiences about science and technology, and use multiple media platforms to effectively and ethically communicate to diverse publics. They could also find jobs such as publicity officers in a base environment.

Build Professional Relationships

Beyond the classroom, communication degree students build leadership experience through participation in academic organizations like the Florida Public Relations Association, Crimson (student newspaper), WCRR Student-Run Radio, FITV Video Productions, student government and over 100 other campus-wide student organizations.
