All our majors take several basic courses for developing general knowledge and skill, such as Introduction to Mass Communication, News Writing, and Communication Law. Then, students with a public relations emphasis, electronic media emphasis, or print media emphasis each take a series of required courses in their area of interest, such as Public Relations Writing, Writing for Broadcast Media, and Public Affairs Reporting. And you can elect to take courses in another emphasis for a broader education. For example, a student with emphasis in print media can take several broadcast or public relations courses as well. We said earlier experience is vital to entering the field.
Student organizations provide such experience.
Our writing and desktop design computer labs, photography labs, and radio and television studios are digitally outfitted with professional, industry- standard equipment. Students have access to these facilities right away through active participation in our student organizations and courses. All our faculty have advanced degrees and extensive experience in their fields. Most professors have doctorates. But see for yourself.
