The Communication Arts Major prepares students for a richly interdisciplinary field that functions at the intersection of media, design, film and society.

They then choose one of five concentrations for further study: Digital Filmmaking, Digital Journalism and Writing, Global Communication and Media and Visual Communication Design.
