Communication

“As a communication major, I’ve gained valuable skills in understanding human interaction, media, and culture. The major covers everything from interpersonal communication to mass media and digital platforms. I especially enjoyed learning how messaging changes based on context and audience. Courses often include group projects and real-world case studies, which helped build teamwork and presentation skills. Professors are supportive and encourage open discussion. It’s a great major for anyone interested in media, public relations, marketing, or even psychology. Overall, communication helped me become a better speaker, listener, and critical thinker—skills I’ll use in any career path.”

“There is a lot of public speaking and in prompt to speeches that you have to do, but otherwise it is pretty chill. It is a lot more theory here instead of just peaking though as well”

“Really fun major, Easy to medium difficulty, and really theory heavy but also has hands on projects.”

“It’s been great so far and I look forward to getting out in the field. I appreciate my professors and their help”

“Studying Digital Social Media at USC Annenberg has given me the opportunity to combine academic theory with hands-on practice in a fast-evolving field. The program emphasizes not only the technical skills—such as analytics, SEO, and digital storytelling—but also the critical thinking needed to evaluate how social platforms shape culture, communication, and business strategy. Through real-world projects, collaboration with peers from diverse backgrounds, and guidance from industry-experienced faculty, I’m learning how to design and measure effective digital campaigns, explore the role of AI and emerging technologies, and connect creativity with data-driven insights. This experience is equipping me with both the strategic vision and practical expertise to thrive in today’s digital-first media landscape.”

“I love it this is the coolest major ever if i could choose a major over and over again it would always be this one. Communications is one of those things”
