The Media and Communication program is for students who are interested in pursuing careers in broadcasting, multi-media journalism, public relations, corporate communications, audio recording and reproduction, film making, and online media creation.

Students may elect an internship in their junior year. Students qualify for an internship by receiving the recommendations of two faculty members, by earning a 2.5 overall grade point average, and by successfully completing an interview with the Media and Communication program coordinator, which may include other faculty members.
