The world of communication is constantly changing and yet one thing stays consistent – the need to communicate. The Communication Arts department desires to prepare students for successful entry into the multifaceted world of communication and media by graduating competent, creative, and Christ-like communicators prepared to serve in a variety of callings.
The major explores the world of visual communication and modern media through observation and practical application. Each student is encouraged to consider their calling and career goals by taking a diverse array of courses that explore various fields and techniques found within the converging mediums of filmmaking, journalism, and theater. Students will apply their skills through various practicums such as producing film projects, writing for the school newspaper, and working on theatrical productions.
