About the Brian Lamb School of Communication Program
Almost all Purdue undergraduates experience the communication program, as each year more than 6,000 students across campus take a presentational speaking course from the school. Students who join the school may choose from five major areas of study:
The school has dedicated full-time advisors who help students with course planning and career development, and student organizations provide opportunities for professional and scholarly growth. Graduates find careers in fields ranging from public relations to management, from law to ministry, and in areas such as sports and health.
Outside the classroom BLSC students have opportunities to practice career-oriented skills. Our students produce their own video news magazine called Fast Track, create our school’s alumni newsletter The Communicator, and work in teams with local nonprofits to get real-world experience in public relations.
One of the greatest strengths of the communication program is its international opportunities. One of the greatest strengths of the communication program is its international opportunities.
