The Department of Mass Communications produces graduates who specialize
in broadcast journalism, print journalism, public relations, radio
production, television production, or television and radio production.
The curriculum combines three essential elements of learning:
- A theoretical approach to enable students to understand concepts
of mass communications.
- A performance-based approach to develop skills and techniques
to enable students to be proficient with communication technologies.
- An internship program to place students in off-campus learning
environments working with professionals.

in the world's pluralistic and global societies. Students must complete
55 semester hours of general

broadly in mass communications theory and techniques. Students also

core courses.
