An Immersive Media Education
A combination of theory and practical learning puts students in the center of the conversation around today's media landscape, challenging you to develop your skills while exploring the systems that connect us across boundaries and borders. Through internships, travel abroad and experiential learning environments, our students engage with real-world issues of public communication, global mass media and new media technologies. We recognize that communication practices and processes can influence our societies in both positive and negative ways. Through our commitments to community engagement and diversity, we prioritize building relationships of mutuality that allow students and local community organizations to learn from one another so as to address community-defined communication challenges together.
Study Abroad
Communication and media connect us as a global society. Studying abroad introduces you to media systems and practices around the world.
