Communications

Do you like talking to people? Are you curious about what is going on in the world and like the idea of telling people about events both near and far? Broadcast Journalism could be the area of specialization for you. With a focus on writing, reporting, and reading the news for both radio and television, you are active in the community – interviewing people, recording the sound and shooting the visuals, as well as writing and presenting the stories on the air. In your senior project you create a documentary about social issues and engage the community to develop real life stories.

Do you want to work in the fast-paced world of radio and television? Do you see yourself on the street, camera on your shoulder, capturing the latest event? On the air, introducing the latest hit, or preparing to interview one of the latest newsmakers? This program prepares you for a career both behind the equipment and in the public eye (or ear).

This program blends public relations theory with practical experience to meet the growing demand for public relations professionals. A public relations practitioner uses the power of communication to manage perception and affect measurable change. Because of the skills they possess, public relations (PR) professionals play key leadership roles within their organizations, and are valuable contributors to strategy development.

This exploratory program prepares you for further study in creative and media arts by helping you identify your interests, passion, and strengths. You explore a wide range of applied arts disciplines – photography, graphic design, digital animation, printing, video, and audio production.
