Introduction
No matter what career path you choose, you will need good communication skills. The online bachelor's degree in communication studies from EOU provides interpersonal communication, public speaking and technological skills that will apply to any career path.
The courses you choose as your electives can direct your degree toward specialized tracks.

Courses in communication law, ethics and theories pair well with law courses to prepare you for a legal career or for teaching communication. By choosing courses in mass media, news media, digital video and web development, you could end up working in mass media, social media or even television.
Although the degree does not have formal specializations, you can choose to take more courses in business communication, media communication or general human communication. Pursue careers in website design, advertising, management, social media, journalism, human resources and more.
