Master of Business Communication

reTHINK Personal Branding

"The UST MBC program helped me become more aware of how today's decisions will be communicated tomorrow and beyond to support a business strategy."

For more than 25 years, the UST MBC program has given alumni the tools and confidence to be heard in the board room, advance their career and assertively influence the success of the organization. Because we immerse you in a business context while expanding your communications expertise, you become a business communication pro.

A communications pro such as Sarah Ridens...

"My UST MBC classes were a great venue for engaging in meaningful discussions about practical business issues in today’s world, then reviewing these issues with a communications lens. From Public Relations to Advertising to Business Law, each course offered diversity of thought and experience and created a rich environment for framing issues, solving problems and thinking strategically. The classes were an ideal setting for practicing communication skills that didn’t seem to come naturally, and identifying and capitalizing on strengths I never knew I had.

"Earning this degree has definitely increased my confidence and prepared me for the next role in my career.  I am better at understanding, respecting and articulating opposing viewpoints – leadership skills that foster teamwork and fair compromise. I am more thoughtful and considerate of how today’s actions and decisions will be communicated tomorrow and beyond to support a business strategy.

"I am proud of my MBC degree from St. Thomas.  The relationships I have with classmates and leaders are lifetime connections that inspire me to stay connected and do great work. I know they will be where the action is – and I don’t want to miss out!"
