Communication, Media & Journalism (CMJ)
Communication comes in many forms. Whether it be today's flourishing film industry with "visual" stories to tell, newspapers and digital news feeds to keep us informed of current events, or even verbal debate to open discussion about topics we hold dear, we, as consumers, are surrounded daily by those communications intended to influence us.
We offer to our future graduates the opportunity to learn about those vehicles of communication and use them to tell their stories. Our programs prepare students for careers in digital media production, filmmaking, journalism, public relations, organizational leadership, or other communication-related professions.
