Communication Advising

Back to programs

Warren Buffett once told a class of business students that he would pay $100,000 for 10 percent of their future earnings — and increase his bid by 50 percent if they also possessed effective communication skills. Pairing valuable communication expertise with a versatile business foundation, the W. P. Carey business degree in communication prepares you for a bright future in your industry and career of choice.
