Communication, B.A.

Communication is an essential part of life. Consider the global economy we live in today-products can be bought, sold, shipped and delivered across the globe in a matter of hours. Cultures and societies the world over are separated by a few clicks of the mouse. Truly, businesses, organizations, and society in general rely on good communicators for success.
