Overview

Why study the Communication Arts program at Gordon College?

At many schools, you’ll find communications tucked into the business department. Not Gordon. Here, communication arts is housed in our Fine Arts Division—and that’s important. We value the art of visual storytelling—the act of living a story, not just telling one. This means you’ll gain experience working with a range of mediums, including print, digital and film. You’ll complete at least one internship and have the option to follow one of four pathways (or create your own) to meet your goals:

Journalism and writing for the media
Film, video and sound
Interpersonal/intercultural communication theory
Public relations, advertising and business communications
