Westminster College Master of Strategic Communication - MSC
Share
The Master of Strategic Communication (MSC) degree is a five-semester program designed to build and refine leaders in the communications industry.
The Master of Strategic Communication (MSC) at Westminster College is designed to meet the needs of professionals working in the communications industry—public relations, corporate and nonprofit communication, marketing, and advertising. The MSC program uses a unique project-based curriculum that ensures you graduate with a portfolio of materials that demonstrates your skills and expertise. Instea
d of lectures and classes, you’ll complete a series of projects (working both individually and in teams) that will give you practical, real-world experience and build your portfolio. These projects simultaneously develop your individual leadership and team-based communication skills. Because the program is online, you can learn without worrying about missing work or giving up family time. You won’t lose the magic of face-to-face time, though, because we offer an on-campus residency in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the Friday before each semester begins. In residency you’ll have the opportunity to socialize and work with your classmates and faculty. Throughout the program, you are guided and supported by your faculty mentors, who will apply a clear and consistent set of specific competencies to help you understand how to improve your work. You’ll have the opportunity to revise every project until you get it right. Towards the end of the program, students take an international trip to apply their communication skills. Thus far students have traveled to Peru and South Africa. The program is ideal for self-motivated individuals who want to work with professional clients to solve specific problems, strategically create and implement response plans, and evaluate their personal and team performance.
