Communication is essential to students' success, their well-being, and their sense of community. It's how they stay informed, share stories, express themselves, and change the world. As a Communication and Media major at Utica University students will gain practical skills and exciting insights into what communication is and how it works.
As a Communication and Media major, students have daily opportunities to create compelling content at WPNR-FM and the Raymond Simon Convergence Media Center. They will collaborate with talented peers and accomplished faculty. Students can intern with businesses, media outlets, and non-profit organizations. Graduates are ready to pursue fulfilling careers or graduate study.
The Communication and Media curriculum helps students develop a deep understanding of historical, legal, cultural, and critical aspects of communication. Graduates will have the ability to write and speak logically, clearly, and precisely on a professional level, as well as to contextualize and criticize aspects of contemporary culture. In keeping with digital media trends, students will learn how to utilize multimedia technology to produce and share compelling information.
In the Communication and Social Justice major, students can link their passion for social justice with a communication-based foundation and a variety of disciplinary perspectives to develop the knowledge and skills they need to understand and combat the social, cultural, and institutional causes of inequality, injustice and oppression. The concentration provides excellent preparation for students wishing to become human rights, civil rights, or environmental advocates, community organizers, social workers, alternative media workers, or lobbyists, as well as those considering graduate study in the social sciences, social work, or law.
