Business Communications

The business communication major is designed for students who are interested in careers in business writing, corporate communication, or graphic communication. Because the business communication field is essentially interdisciplinary in nature, the program integrates courses from several departments in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences and the Zicklin School of Business. 

The corporate communication specialization prepares students for careers as communication specialists in business, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations in such fields as media relations, investor relations, corporate advertising, and employee communication. Interested students should contact the Department of Communication Studies at Communication.Studies@baruch.cuny.edu or 646-312-3720 and review the department website. 

The graphic communication specialization provides training in graphics as well as basic training in the broader aspects of business communication. It prepares the graphic artist to enter a business environment. Interested students should contact Professor Zoë Sheehan-Saldaña in the Department of Fine and Performing Arts and review the department website. 

The business writing specialization is designed for students interested in combining business writing with preparation in business administration. Interested students should contact Professor Vera Haller in the Department of Journalism and the Writing Professions and review the department website.
