Communication Studies

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or minor in Communications Studies helps students understand the process and appreciate the art and science of connecting in a meaningful way with one another.

At Olivet, students combine communication theory with Christian principles in the classroom, and put those skills into practice everywhere from the office to the stage in a variety of careers.


Communication Studies and Minors

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or minor in Communications Studies will help you understand the process and appreciate the art and science of connecting in a meaningful way with one another. 

Because this major requires only 36 credit hours, you may choose to double major in another area of interest like English, Writing, Business, Intercultural Studies, a foreign language or Christian Ministry.


Leadership Studies

The minor in leadership studies is an interdisciplinary academic program, which is the perfect complement to any major. Whether in schools, homes, churches, businesses or government, there is an increased need of transformational, servant leadership.

The leadership studies minor provides students the confidence and skills needed to meet our world’s greatest needs through strong leadership capabilities.
