Overview

That’s what an Augustana College major/minor in Multimedia Journalism and Mass Communication will do for you.

Outside class, your faculty mentors will encourage you to think big. From working with members of Congress to hosting a weekly Spanish-language TV program, students apply their class learning to internships.

On campus, choose from many skill-sharpening opportunities: the award-winning student newspaper, The Observer; the student-run campus radio station WAUG; the on-campus NPR station WVIK; writing, photography and videography positions in the Office of Communication and Marketing; the EDGE Entrepreneurial Center; and Ads (Advertising Developers), Augustana’s chapter of the American Advertising Federation.
