Our program is designed to provide students with hands-on experiences, allowing them to apply their knowledge in real-world situations. This approach equips students with the skills and confidence to become informed, responsible, creative, and critical communicators capable of participating broadly in a diverse, multicultural, and rapidly changing media world.
