Make a difference with your B.A.

Through a degree in communication arts, you will study the foundations of human communication, mass media and society, and the basics of journalism. You will learn communication theory, ethics, and criticism. And you’ll explore persuasive and public speaking.

You’ll do this by studying with passionate, Christian professors, with the entire city of Chicago in your backyard.

When you major in communication arts, you will choose a concentration in:
• Communication studies; or
• Theatre

Our program seeks to integrate the concerns of engaged citizenship and biblical faithfulness. We strive to navigate the biblical tension of being in but not of the world. Conversations in and out of class emphasize ways to be both critical and contributive in public life, in the marketplace, and in the worshipping life of various faith communities. Communication students from our program are thoughtful contributors to society and engaged practitioners for the Kingdom of God.

Make a difference with a B.S.

When you earn a B.S. in marketing from Trinity, you will be prepared to practice creativity in business and strategic decision-making in product and services marketing. Your coursework will encompass marketing management, product management, services marketing, and on-line marketing/social media.

To help discern their gifts and calling in the marketplace, many of our students enhance their project-based coursework with internships in downtown Chicago, including through our Chicago Semester.

After the experiences gained through Chicago Semester, students are even more equipped to lead integrated personal, professional, and public lives. Our Marketing B.S. is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
