Corporate Communication at Lamar University

Courses in advertising, public speaking, business and professional speech, organizational communication, human resource interviewing, corporate training and development, issues management, persuasion, and advertising campaigns are but a few of the offerings by the department.

The opportunities for communication internships as upperclassmen and special studies on specific projects allow corporate communication majors to add breadth to their undergraduate experience.

In addition to the required 30 credit hours from the departmental core, majors select 18 hours from Corporate Communication studies.
