Bachellor in Communications
Explanation:
This obviously refers to radio and telecommunications, and not to mass media. Mass media is medios de comunicación, which is something completely different. I chose Bachellor and not Graduate (which is accepted by Vox as a valid translation), because a Graduate can be an MSc, a BSc, or even a doctor.
I did not find the three words together, but checked the separate meaning in the Spanish Dictionary of Business, Commerce and Finance (Routledge) and also the Technical Dictionary of Javier Collazo.

thanks! thanks!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Lisa Carter (X): True, in Mexico at least a Bachelor's degree is Licenciatura.

agree  Esther Hermida

  -> Thank you.
disagree  Gabriela Tenenbaum (X): sorry Rob, but what about newspapers and magazines? Journalism and consequently "Communication" include these too.
2 hrs
  -> I would use the word media or journalism to define these. At least in Argentina they would say Licenciado en Periodismo, not in Comunicaciones.
agree  Sheilann: I think communications is vague enough to refer to anything. In both languages.
