Communication Arts

Communication is a foundational skill in all sectors of the professional world. And, in a rapidly shifting environment, there has never been a more critical need for excellent communicators. Our programs integrate deep conceptual knowledge with strong practical experience through close collaboration with faith-based faculty mentors. As a result, students do more than master the technical skills of the discipline—they learn to think critically about the way messages are created, conveyed and consumed in modern society.
