A degree in Communication will prepare you for a careers in broadcasting, advertising, public relations and journalism. Learn to write effectively, to speak confidently, and to communicate through traditional and emerging media.

If you’re interested in journalism, look no further than the Perspective, the award-winning student-run newspaper. For those with a talent for telling a story through radio or television, stop by the WMCB radio station, or the Television Studio, with industry-standard broadcast and production equipment, a few doors down.

Each fall, the Communication Department holds “Media Day,” which brings over 30 communication specialists to campus to network with students through workshops and discussion sessions. And in the spring, the Media Awards Luncheon honors broadcast, print and marketing professionals with awards of excellence, and serves as another networking opportunity.

We are one of the few programs in the area that requires three separate field experiences or internships before graduation. Internships provide invaluable networking opportunities with area professionals and often lead to job offers after graduation.

Faculty also serve as mentors to the students, making connections with alumni and local organizations to create internship and job opportunities. Our alumni have a strong success rate in landing their first jobs in the field. Recent graduates have moved into rewarding careers -- locally and nationally -- covering every facet of the Communication industry.

Bachelor of ScienceCan you imagine learning about the history of broadcast news in the fall, and working for a television network in the spring? At Medaille, you might just call that your junior year. With an emphasis on career-intensive internship opportunities, students in the Communication program gain hands-on experience before entering the workforce.
