"It’s a natural evolution of Butler’s strong College of Communication to launch a master’s degree in Strategic Communication. As an alum, I am biased toward Butler students and graduates, but I’ve hired and mentored several young professionals, and the Butler ones always stand out. Now with this opportunity, students and professionals can expand their careers by gaining insights and knowledge in the areas where the communications industry is moving—strategy, consultation, problem solving, critical thinking, and innovation. Earning a specialized degree in this area will prove extremely valuable for those in the program, as well as for the organizations they serve."

"In the time I was in the program, I did over 5 projects with local businesses. That was information and experience I don’t think I would have gotten through a normal classroom experience. If you’re looking to use your MBA to gain real-world business experience, this is the best place to do it."
