Effective communication is a need in every industry, across organizations in the public and private sectors. UTEP’s fully online degree focuses on the skills it takes to excel in these careers. The curriculum blends a solid theoretical foundation with practical components, such as writing for PR and working through case studies.
You’ll also benefit from diversity in another way. UTEP is located in El Paso, on the U.S.-Mexico border, which brings a binational and international context to the program. So as an online student, you’ll gain a unique perspective into communication by learning at an institution that takes pride in an incredibly diverse student and faculty population. And that’s a very powerful thing for communication, leadership and more.
