"While machines or robots may take jobs away from humans, the ability to tailor a message to an audience is not likely to be automated in your lifetimes. People who are skilled in writing and delivering persuasive messages—and who can work effectively and creatively with types of media that may not even be invented yet— will always be in demand. It is the same with translation - automatic is good as far as it goes, but when it comes to high-quality, difficult texts, it takes the highly trained skilled professional. This is the market our English & Communications graduates should be aiming for. " -Dr. Thomas Samuelian, Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences BA IN ENGLISH & COMMUNICATIONS
