Coursework

An all new curriculum has been designed for the Mass Comm program which provides students with an excellent mix of production skills, communication skills, theory, law and writing. In other words, we don't want our students to leave the program knowing only how to make equipment work, we want them to leave with a solid understanding of good storytelling. Since stories are always ultimately about people and their relationships, you'll find classes aimed at those topics in our new curriculum.

A major in Mass Communication will provide an understanding of the systems, theories, and practices of mass communication and their impact on contemporary society, and to prepare students to obtain employment in secular or Christian film, video, and television production. Students can use their education and training for entry-level employment, for independent production, or for pursuing graduate study in communication and other fields.
