The communication major offers a program of study that prepares students for careers in the mass communication industries or graduate school while supporting the institution's mission of educating the whole person.
After completing a core sequence of courses that emphasizes critical examination of mass communication, majors pursue a career-oriented concentration in one of four areas: print journalism, television/radio, public relations or advertising. There are also offerings in speech, film, photography, and the history of broadcasting.
Our 125 majors learn in state-of-the-art video and audio production labs, discuss major social and ethical issues affecting communication, and experience the workplace through internships, work-site visits, and media tours of major media markets such as Boston and New York. Various co-curricular activities, including a student-run newspaper, a campus radio station, a closed-circuit cable station, and a communication club, underscore the academic experience in our program.
