ROLE SUMMARY:
Communications Teachers, Postsecondary are professors and instructors who teach courses in communications disciplines including organizational communication, public relations, broadcast media, and journalism at colleges and universities. They combine teaching responsibilities with scholarly activities, developing curriculum and conducting research in their specialized areas. These educators play a crucial role in preparing students for careers in media, public relations, journalism, and corporate communications.

DAY IN THE LIFE:
A typical day involves preparing and delivering lectures on communications theory and practice, facilitating classroom discussions on media ethics or public relations strategies, and evaluating student assignments ranging from research papers to multimedia presentations. They spend significant time creating course materials like syllabi and handouts, grading examinations and student work, and maintaining detailed academic records. Office hours are dedicated to advising students on career paths in journalism, broadcasting, or corporate communications. Research activities include staying current with industry trends, collaborating with colleagues on communications studies, and potentially working on scholarly publications in their area of expertise.

WHO THRIVES:
Individuals who excel in this role demonstrate exceptional oral and written communication abilities, with the capacity to clearly articulate complex communications concepts and theories. They possess high intellectual curiosity and dependability, essential for maintaining rigorous academic standards while staying current with rapidly evolving media landscapes. Strong social perceptiveness helps them understand diverse student needs and facilitate meaningful classroom discussions. The role attracts those who enjoy both the analytical aspects of communications research and the interpersonal dynamics of teaching, requiring a blend of scholarly rigor and engaging presentation skills.

CAREER ENTRY:
Entry into this field typically requires a master's degree in communications, journalism, public relations, or related field, with 70.8% of practitioners holding this credential. Many positions prefer or require a doctoral degree (17.4% hold this), particularly for tenure-track positions at research universities. Relevant professional experience in media, public relations, or corporate communications strengthens candidacy. Teaching experience, often gained through graduate assistantships or adjunct positions, is highly valued for demonstrating instructional capabilities.

CAREER TRAJECTORY:
Career progression typically follows the academic pathway from adjunct instructor to assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor positions. Advancement depends on teaching effectiveness, scholarly research, and service contributions to the institution. Some faculty transition into administrative roles as department chairs, deans, or instructional coordinators. Others may move between academia and industry, leveraging their expertise as consultants or returning to professional practice in communications fields they teach.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE:
The field employs 29,420 professionals nationwide with a median annual salary of $78,580 (BLS OEWS May 2025), ranging from $47,590 to $143,720 for the 10th to 90th percentiles. Geographic variation is substantial, with California offering the highest compensation at $135,000 compared to New Mexico's $49,880, reflecting a 2.71x ratio between highest and lowest paying states. Employment is concentrated almost exclusively in educational services, indicating stable demand tied to higher education enrollment. The field benefits from growing emphasis on digital communications and media literacy in academic curricula.

AUTOMATION OUTLOOK:
This role has moderate resistance to automation due to its emphasis on human interaction, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving in communications contexts. While technology tools like Adobe Creative Suite and online learning platforms enhance instruction delivery, the core activities of facilitating discussions, providing personalized feedback, and mentoring students require human expertise that cannot be easily automated.
