9:35 - conclusion
These are the tips you need to know when you are in a communications degree. With a degree that is so broad and versatile it can be difficult to figure out what path to follow to make the most of a communications degree.
In this video I'm going to talk about everything I wish I knew before I started a communications degree. Like the importance of joining student associations, looking for internships, familiarizing myself with digital marketing even though it wasn't taught in my courses, etc.
Also stay tuned for more videos where I apply the theories from my communication degree to breakdown everything that's going on in the world of culture, media and technology.

Best classes in the Comms field that I took were "public speaking" and speech writing. It is such a general field, but I believe many universities have specializations within the 'Communications' field (PR, Advertising, Journalism, Political Comms, Digital Media, etc). Specialize and then augment your studies with internships, co-op, work, etc that is in your field of specialization. Also seek outside university, industry-recognized certifications.

As a communication major from U.S. my degree is truely the "jack of all trades" degree and I love it for that reason. I personally didn't have any intense readings (which is good because I hated reading and math) instead I learned public speaking, interpersonal skills, interviewing, film , and journalism. I love it a lot because I did learn sooo many different skills.

I have never subscribed to anything on youtube in my life until I watched this video and became hooked! I started pursuing my degree in business administration this year (currently an RMA in healthcare) but recently during my studies found myself starting to question if I was going down the right path for a future career. After seeing your video, you inspired me, girl. Very informative video, I then the next day contacted my student advisor, asked lots of questions that you explained in your video, and decided I needed to officially request a "switch of major" with my college to bachelor's of science in communications, and I got accepted! Thank you so much for your courage and honesty! Can't wait to view all of your videos! Thanks again! You rock! :)

In case someone asks me again about my degree i'll just send a link to this video bc everything u said is honestly on point. Probably the communication theory that took me a while to really understand is McLuhan's "the medium is the message" or the media ecology theory. I reported about this 1st yr 1st semester and idk how I did it. Also another course that we had which I think is really important is Risk, Disaster, and Humanitarian Communication. We had this just right before the pandemic started and thankfully I kept all the notes and materials for the subject bc reading again the different theories and models on how to craft messages when we are in a crisis has made me appreciate more my degree. I am a journalism major, I had my internship last year at a local newspaper and all of the stories I wrote were about or related to Covid-19. And I owe the success of my internship to my RDH notes 😄

This video really is helpful. I'm a high school student who as of now is very much confused on what I want to study for college, causing me to stay up researching constantly. At first I thought I'd go into marketing but when I looked into that, I found out that isn't the thing I exactly was going for nor something in my strengths. Then I came across a video with someone who had a communications degree. I became quite curious and began to delve into what it was. When I say many, and I mean MANY videos would have determined the degree useless and it was making me more and more hesitant. But I was still curious because even then, those videos didn't clarify one thing that you did just now. Which was, since the degree seems to be a versatile one- it can be paired with anything. This clarification made me quite happy. Now knowing I can pair this degree with something of my interests, still be able to gain a livable income, and it involves skills that i'm quite confident in. It just seems right to me. So thank you for making this video and answering a few of my many questions regarding the degree and major.

Hey! I'm so happy I was able to help. A comms degree is really a jack of all trade master of none situation so once I was able to approach it from a very narrow field such as television studies it become much easier to see how the degree was useful. Good luck in which university you choose!

Hi Cheyenne. I'm a Cameroonian (Equatorial Africa) and studied Journalism and Media Studies while holding a part time job as a communications officer. I do believe that a communications degree encompasses presentation skills. Though it's not entirely about that. So your university friend was partly right about that because the expectation is that as a comms graduate you should be able to do well in multiple careers be it in movies, music,journalism, and advertising etc. These jobs require you to be a good communicator to some extent

As a senior in communications major at the University of Maryland, I find a lot of what you say to be pretty helpful and accurate. I will note that my course load seems to vary a lot from yours (to start I have no idea who those theorists are). I'd say the best advice was to write essays about topics/industries you want to build a career in. Communications degrees give a lot of leeway when you're writing essays or giving presentations. Communications work is needed in almost every industry, so be sure to capitalize on the opportunity to close the gap between your interests and your future career! Good luck to everyone this upcoming semester.

I’m so glad I found this video! I am a 3rd year CC student and will be transferring to uni after next sem. I plan to major in health communication and minor in both sociology and writing. I was watching another vid a bit ago that said that a communications degree would get me nowhere and that really upset me. I just want to work in the healthcare field but not on the practicing side of it. Also, I’m a shy person, but I have a way with words, but my mom believes I have to be extroverted to major in communications. I know for a fact that’s not necessarily the case. I’d love to see a vid talking about the various job opportunities for both introverts and extroverts, or something along those lines!

Aside from your Communications and Marketing degree at York, did you pursue any master's in Communications after your undergrad?

I am currently working on my communications studies AA degree, after 7 years of working at an unfulfilling yet very stable job at a big well known company. I was afraid to commit to a communications studies degree straight out of high school precisely because when I would be asked "what are you going to school/college for?" and I would respond communications studies, I would get the same response that you mentioned "it's useless", "not worth it", "be smart about your career choices", "what is that?". Very well put video, and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video! I wonder if there is a difference between disciplines such as communication or social psychology or sociology.

Psychology often focuses on how concepts ( biases, stereotypes etc) effect the individual. This can go over how the effects they have on an individuals brain and/or how they react to there social environment. Sociology is how do these concepts affect society and people's social standings, the community, economic well-being, etc. Communications blends the two together but they would not go into as much depth as psychology and sociology

hey lucyyy so what i liked most about my degree was understanding how language and images are used to create stories that we tell ourselves to help us make sense of the word. so i wanted to get into television to create content that would make people see the world differently. i just posted my life after graduation video where i talk about how that didnt work out 😅 but now with my degree im in marketing where i still use language and images to promote my companies products over our competitors. social media always gets forced down comm majors throats its so annoying but i would check out marketing roles (which you might want to get a certificate in marketing for) or PR!

So what is the difficulty on obtaining a good degree as well as a job in this field of studies?. i'm currently serving in the military, (Navy) and wish to start school ASAP. only thing is i've had a problem figuring out what i want to major in. i'm from Los Angeles and i feel this would be a good degree to have beneath my belt when i leave and settle down in LA. any feedback is highly appreciated! I started looking into majors and this just caught my attention. I’m beginning my research and came across this video which was exceptional. Like anything else, I’m sure there’s a lot of hard work and dedication needed to excel. Just would like to enhance my knowledge more on the topic. THANKS 🙏🏼!!

Recently I am have a thought of going back to college to obtain a degree because my highest education level is just high school diploma. So I got two options from a college which both also are online study, English and mass communication major. I am having trouble choosing one of those. I am afraid that I choose the wrong path. What skills I will learn in mass comm?

Hi Cheyenne, I have just recently became interested in doing a degree in Communication. I am thinking about doing a PhD, which universities in Canada do you suggest ? how are the fees? and are there scholarships for international students? Basically, I'm interested in digital communication.

international student fees are disrespectful! i definitely couldnt afford tuition if i was an international student in canada. i went to york university in toronto. i loved it. i havent really looked into other schools but im sure the degree offerings have all changed now since i graduated in 2018

I heard that getting a film degree is useless and in mass communications you can write for TV and radio. Does majoring in mass communications help getting into writing in film production after graduation?
