Alabama A&M University Launches New Communications Specialist Graduate Degree Program (MS)
After receiving approval from
the Alabama Higher Education Commission and the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools Alabama A&M University is set to enroll its first
class (Fall 2014) in the new Communication Specialist Program (MS). The new program is specifically designed to
provide organizations with employees skilled in the communicative processes of
information transfer, negotiation, problem-solving, persuasion, team building,
and leadership. Communications Specialists
help people, groups or organizations build and maintain favorable relations
with others. Since this usually involves
interaction with the public, Communications Specialists are sometimes referred
to as Public Relations Specialists.
These professionals use a wide variety of media or methods to accomplish
their goals, which may include advertisements, newspapers articles or profiles,
speeches, events press conferences and television shows. For more information on the Communication
Specialists Program contact Dr. Jennifer Vinson at 256-372-4035.
