Department of Mass Communication

Mission Statement

Achievement in this fast-moving world of multimedia communication relies on more than just the ability to understand technology. In the Department of Mass Communication, we educate students to become innovative practitioners, intellectuals, ethical beings, and leaders in the careers of Advertising, Journalism, Public Relations, Performance, Visual Art & Social Practice, and Radio & Television Broadcasting. With our sequences in these areas, undergraduates acquire the technical competency and the ability to provide foresight and control in the multifaceted field of Mass Communication. The Department of Mass Communication is committed to providing a high quality academic program that is supported in part through hands-on learning. Mass Communication students are required to purchase their own video/photo camera.
