School of Communications



Mission Statement

The School of Communications serves to develop students into highly effective storytellers who apply skills and techniques to a diverse world, leveraging their talents and experiences in modern and innovative ways to shine a light of positive Christian influence in the world.

Additional Information on Communications Majors

A student majoring in Communications must complete 49 semester hours as described below. The curriculum consists of the Communications Core plus a Communications major.

The majors are:

  • Broadcast Media – This major centers on the theoretical and practical use of audio and video in broadcast, internet, and corporate environments.
  • Communications Studies – This major allows a generalist approach to communications where students can tailor the major to their own interests.
  • Public Relations – This major involves theoretical and applied public relations with additional studies in media and business communication.
  • Journalism – This major provides theoretical and applied training for students seeking careers in both print and online Journalism.

The program is augmented by audio, video and technology laboratories, which are the foundational training centers for Broadcast Media and Journalism, and which serve a support role for Communications Studies and Public Relations.

In addition, if taking two Fine Arts classes in the general education requirements section, students must choose one from a Fine Arts area other than Communications.
