Program snapshot
A prestigious education — with options.
KU’s online bachelor’s in communication studies is designed for your busy schedule. Courses are 100% online and asynchronous, meaning that you can “attend” them on your own time. Weekly deadlines and check-ins will help you keep your coursework on track. Through independent projects, you’ll conduct hands-on research that translates to real-world field experience. Online communication studies courses are taught by the same award-winning faculty and instructors and contain the same rigorous educational standards as KU’s on-campus programs.
When you earn your bachelor’s degree online from KU, you earn a KU degree. Not all online programs deliver on that promise as thoroughly as the online degree programs at KU.
