What is the workload like for a communications major?

just want to know

Thank you comment icon Actually, it doesn't matter. If you pursue a major/career that excites you and then get a job in the field of your interest, then this old adage will certainly apply: "If you truly love what you do, then you'll never *work* a day in your life." When it comes to any career, don't worry about the workload, instead think of what you are passionate about doing or accomplishing. Steve Acterman

TJ’s Answer

If it is a communication technology job, you will be working day to day on network planning, engineering, opreation, maintenance, and provide services to customers, for example, mobile phone users.

If it is a communicarion job in marketing/sales, then you need very good people skills, which means high IQ and high EQ, since your main job is to make people like you, trust you, and eager to do business with you.

Hi Faith,

This might be a hot take but I thought the work load as a communications major was very manageable. It's not the kind of major that requires a ton of reading assignments or intense exams. What you can expect is a lot of group projects, case studies and internship opportunities (sometimes unpaid). It is one of those degrees that require a strong foundation of hands-on learning, a lot of times outside of the classroom.

Use that extra energy and time to apply your learnings outside of the classroom! Apply for a communications role in student-led organizations (student-body government, the Black Student Union, the school newspaper, etc.) This will be the best way to curate a well rounded education that prepares you for a big girl job.

Dr. Kelly’s Answer

This is dependent on how many credits and classes you take per term. When I was an undergraduate student, to stay "full-time", the minimum they made you take was 12 credits, which was typically 4 classes, and a max of 18, which was typically 6 courses. Some required science labs were 4 credits. If you don't over lap two sciences or two English classes, it is manageable.
