Curriculum
Most undergraduate colleges won’t provide an in-depth look at media effects. And, they won’t offer experience with live TV or a radio station that reaches beyond the local area. Our Department of Journalism, Broadcasting, and Public Relations teaches you how to tell stories with hands-on experience.
We encourage participation in student groups and internships, where you’ll get practical experience and make connections with employers.
