UW-Whitewater’s communication program recognizes — and is responding to — the growing demand for the specialized skills and knowledge needed to thrive in a corporate or healthcare environment. Our emphasis in Corporate and Health Communication is a highly engaging program, full of opportunities to interact with the campus and local community — and beyond. UW-Whitewater is a comprehensive university with plenty of resources and opportunities — yet our program is small enough for meaningful interaction with the faculty. Have a seat at the table: help corporate executives effectively communicate important issues with stakeholders. Give organizations a voice: from nonprofit organizations to healthcare conglomerates,  help organizations find the best way to communicate at all levels. Develop a vision:  assist companies in improving their branding efforts and connecting with employees, consumers, and community members.
