Communication, Media & Journalism


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Departments

The Department of Communication, Media & Journalism offers programs leading to Associate of Arts degrees in Communication, Media Studies, and Journalism, and a Minor in Journalism. The degrees provide a strong multi-disciplinary, liberal arts grounding for students, which gives them the flexibility to go on to careers in video production, filmmaking, journalism, public relations, organizational communication, education, or other communication-specific professions, or to transfer to other programs.

The Associate of Arts in Communication provides students with grounding in theories and practice of interpersonal and speech communication.

The Associate of Arts in Media Studies trains students in broadcast, video and sound production, filmmaking, and media analysis.

The Associate of Arts in Journalism gives students skills in journalistic writing and multimedia journalism production and an understanding of legal and ethical journalism.

The Minor in Journalism provides journalism skills, ethics, and practice to students who wish to major in other subject areas.

The Department sponsors award-winning newspapers, a radio station, and nationally recognized debate and mediation teams, all of which support our mission to foster strong communication skills and understanding in a global, multicultural environment.

The Department of Communication, Media & Journalism faculty assist students in planning their courses of study. At the associate-degree level, students must meet with a faculty advisor and complete the application for graduation at the beginning of the semester in which they plan to graduate. For the journalism minor, students must meet with a faculty advisor and complete a plan of study. No grades below a C will be accepted in the major or minor area, including any classes offered by the Department.
