A communications degree can be either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BS), depending on the emphasis of the program. Some communications programs are more focused on the humanities, such as media studies, public relations, and journalism, and may be offered as a BA. Other programs may be more technically oriented, such as digital media production, and may be offered as a BS. Nevertheless, at IE University we do not make such distinction.
