Communication Arts
The word “communication” derives from the Latin word “communicare,” which means “to share knowledge or to inform by means of speaking and writing.” While our ability to share knowledge and information has expanded due to many technological advances, the Communication Arts faculty remain dedicated to the principle that all communication—no matter how sophisticated its transmission— must be based in thinking, writing and oral skills.
Mount Saint Mary College offers majors in media studies and public relations. Media studies majors choose a concentration in either journalism or production.
Media Studies/Production Concentration
The media studies major with a concentration in production is designed to prepare students for graduate study and positions in the various media professions, such as journalism, publishing, radio, television, digital media, and other electronic communications. Emphasis is on media creation, production, and editing. Prerequisite to this major is the successful completion of ENG 1010 and ENG 1020 or their equivalents. Students may then pursue a minimum of 39 (maximum of 40) credits in the field.
