Media and Communications
The Media and Communication major has been designed to reflect the enormous change that has occurred in the communication industry. Advances in digital communication and the World Wide Web have created a wide range of opportunities for students interested in working as multi-media communicators. The Media and Communication program has been tailored to provide students with a curriculum that includes digital video production, digital photography, web design and writing across the converging mediums of print, web and broadcast.
This new major was created for students that are creative, hands-on learners with an artistic spirit and an entrepreneurial spark. The range of skills that students will learn in the Media and Communication program will give them a significant edge when they enter the digital workplace. Our mission is to prepare students for jobs as news writers, reporters and photographers as well as corporate communicators, educators, entrepreneurs and highly-trained candidates for graduate education.
The total number of credits required for graduation with a major in Written Communications is 121, plus four credits earned by completing the Employment Program.
