Whether a student feels most at home with a camera or a pen, on a computer editing, or with a team creating marketing strategies, the communication department features the flexibility, guidance and experiences for successful career development. Research and critical studies provide contexts for practicum work and foundations for graduate school.

Communication majors work closely with advisors to determine the best courses of study and develop practical skills in on-campus industry-standard facilities and internships at more than 90 job sites. The multidisciplinary curriculum of the Bachelor of Communication, Media and Culture program of The University of Tampa emphasizes historical perspectives, societal values and ethics to encourage graduates to use media responsibly.
