Overview

Advances in media technology always influence the way we communicate; but even as things change, fundamental aspects of communication and culture remain the same.

The Communication and Culture program at Fordham University takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human and mediated communication. Drawing from both the humanities and the social sciences, you’ll explore the many ways in which communication both shapes and reflects the human experience.

Combining theory and practice, our program builds a bridge between academic concepts and everyday situations. You’ll learn the strategic application of communication theory, tools and techniques.. You’ll examine the powerful economic and political role of the media in today’s world. And you’ll reflect upon the great responsibility that comes with the power of mediated communication.
