  • Program Overview

    The general communication major provides a strong foundation in the field and allows you to sample classes in the other communication programs offered at Endicott. Sometimes students will begin their studies in the general major and then move into digital media or marketing communication/ advertising, or add a minor, as their interests develop.

    By pursuing a degree in communication, you will explore the many ways media impact the individual and society, both locally and globally. Classroom studies promote written and critical-thinking skills, as well as theoretical and applied knowledge. By pursuing the general major in communication, you will find yourself prepared for traditional communication-related professions and, as with the other communication programs, you will possess the skills to move directly into a program of advanced studies and graduate school.

    As a communication major with a journalism minor, Kaileigh Grieb '25 carved her path in a male-dominated field, covering Division I baseball and interning with powerhouse programs like Duke University. Her passion for storytelling and sports has taken her from Endicott鈥檚 classrooms to the press box鈥攁nd she鈥檚 just getting started.
