Simmons is distinguished in many ways — faculty who practice the professions they teach, an active alumni network, and an ideal Boston location. The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) offers widely respected graduate programs for men and women in education, liberal arts, and communications management.
Unlike other graduate communications programs, our Master's in Communications Management (MCM) program teaches strategic and integrated communications. Rather than focusing only on how to be a good tactician (writing press releases, buying media, etc.), Simmons teaches how to strategize and coordinate communications functions such as public relations, direct marketing, promotions, branding, advertising, and digital communications. This integrated approach requires strategic vision, enhanced management competencies, and superior communications skills to operate effectively. Communications Management students say the program enhances their credentials and directly contributes to their professional success.
For more than 100 years, Simmons graduates have been pioneers in their professions, recognized for their amazing achievements and remarkable careers. Today, CAS graduate programs attract dedicated women and men and prepare them for meaningful jobs and advanced degrees — as educators, scholars, community organizers, and corporate executives.
