The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication
We are excited that you’re interested in taking the next step in your educational journey with Washington State University Everett! There are many reasons to complete your bachelor’s degree; financial and personal. Higher education is the surest path to both opportunity and earning power. A bachelor’s degree provides not only the hard skills necessary in the job market but also critical thinking skills, a path to individual and personal growth, and the chance to give back to your community.
Students studying integrated strategic communication learn to communicate creatively and persuasively to build mutually beneficial long-term relationships between organizations and their publics. Coursework in the program emphasizes theoretically grounded, data-based decision-making to problem solve and innovate.
With hands-on projects and internships, the highly flexible program gives you all the tools you’ll need to become a professional communicator and the freedom to focus on what interests you. Most courses are taught in person by faculty and professional experts affiliated with the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, while others are delivered from WSU Pullman via interactive video and the nationally-ranked WSU Global Campus.
Integrated Strategic Communication at Everett is a degree completion program designed to integrate with the state of Washington’s Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) associate of arts degree. While an associate’s degree isn’t required for admission, it is highly recommended. Prospective students should complete enough of the Washington State University general education (UCORE) requirements to qualify for junior standing before enrolling.
The Integrated Strategic Communication program requires specific prerequisite courses. If possible, you should take them before applying to WSU (they are available at Everett, but completing them before you transfer will help you finish your degree sooner.)
EXPLORE STUDENT CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS
We encourage strategic communication students to receive as much practical experience as possible through internships and involvement with on-campus organizations. Everett ISC students participate in the Boeing Scholars Program and complete internships in Greater Seattle area.
