Communication Arts
Changes during the last 25 years in the way we communicate rival any similar period in human history. As a student in our program, you will be prepared for careers in what is nothing short of a global communication revolution.
You will have opportunities to hone your creative and practical skills through work on the campus’ traditional and web-based publications, internships tailored to your interests, student-managed events, social media campaigns and audiovisual production. We even offer you free-reign in a studio with facilities designed for you to create what most interests you beyond your class assignments: 3-D printing, video production, photography and much more. As a result, you will be able to develop a significant portfolio of materials to demonstrate your gained skills and work experience to potential employers.
