According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment of communications experts — including advertising, marketing, promotions, and public relations managers — is expected to increase faster than the average through 2010. Moreover, college graduates who possess professional experience, a high level of creativity, and strong communication skills will have the best job opportunities.
The Master’s in Communications Management (MCM) program attracts a high-energy group of students, most with five to 10 years of professional experience. Many work in communications-related fields, although increasing numbers of managers from other fields are entering the program. At Simmons, they hone their personal leadership styles, learn from each other, and enjoy a collegial relationship with professors and instructors who are nationally distinguished experts in strategic communications. MCM students say the program enhances their credentials and provides a strong professional network that contributes to their success.
As a student in the MCM program, you’ll gain access to career resources and networking opportunities. To learn more about the communications management careers of Simmons graduates, read our success stories.
