Communication
The Bachelor of Arts in Communication has three approaches: public relations and intangible management, internal communication and corporate culture, and communication for development. Under the emphasis of Organizational Communication and Public Relations, students will learn to manage and create communication strategies for public and private institutions, general population or public figures, building their image and reputation and promoting their productivity or service so that they can establish relationships full of credibility and trust with stakeholders or with the general public.
