Minor in English Arts

The Communication Studies programs prepare graduates for success in areas such as public relations, organizational and business communication, media production, social media, law, community advocacy, politics, strategic communication, journalism and video production.

More than persuasive leaders and successful peacemakers, we want our graduates to be productive and ethical members of society.

What sets this program apart:

  • Access to and classes taught in dedicated Mac Lab.
  • Experiential learning opportunities through the university newspaper and athletics broadcasting.
  • Participation in internships.
  • Study abroad opportunities.
  • Focus on the Marianist traditions of integrity and community service.

Our engaged faculty offer a variety of co-curricular activities, such as academic research and publishing, a magazine launch, broadcasting opportunities, producing the campus newspaper, video production, service learning with local not-for-profits and participating in our honor society and local organizations.
