About Communications
When you ask employers what they wish they saw more of in new employees, their responses are
nearly unanimous. They want them to be able to communicate well - to write coherently, to present
information clearly, and to speak confidently. The needs of employers in any field make communications
one of Lakeland's most marketable minors because it perfectly complements almost
any major.
Students minoring in Communications can focus on the media and types of writing that best suit
their professional goals, while still developing a broad range of communicative skills. These
students learn to work creatively, even as they adapt their writing to the expectations of various
audiences.
