Why the graduate certificate in strategic communication at BGSU?
We’re the ideal blend of veteran researchers, instructors from business and industry, and creative and experienced thinkers. Plus, the Graduate Certificate will introduce you to graduate study; you could consider the Certificate a “test drive,” opening doors to even deeper and more substantive learning in a Master of Arts program later.
The strategic communication program truly encompasses the progression I need in my career. I am a web design/developer, so I am used to being behind the scenes at work, but this program will give me an understanding of the industry from the other side.
