The Department of Mass Communications, established in fall 1997, offers courses that prepare students for careers in broadcast journalism, print journalism, public relations, and electronic production. The Department of Mass Communications has a modern television studio in which students produce several television shows, an all digital student-run radio station and an all-digital off-line editing system. In the future, the Department of Mass Communications will add an all-digital comprehensive media lab.

The Mass Communications concentration courses develop students’ competence and skills in broadcast journalism, print journalism, public relations, radio, sound production, and television production. The concentration courses enable students to gain knowledge about the role of media so that they can become practitioners.
