BU College of Communication

Do you love films? Social media? News? Telling stories? Changing minds—and maybe history? Boston University College of Communication (COM) is for you.

We’ve been educating professional communicators since we offered the world’s first degree in public relations in 1947 and the first master’s and PhD degrees in emerging media studies in 2015. Today, our alumni occupy the highest levels in a multitude of fields. Tomorrow? We’re training the next generation of leaders in advertising, emerging media, film and television, journalism, media science and public relations.

We do this because COM students, faculty and alumni share a simple but powerful belief: communication builds understanding — among people and throughout society.
