Overview

Mass communication and digital media are changing the ways that people generate, disseminate, receive, and use ideas. We offer three concentrations: Digital Filmmaking, Media Studies, and Strategic Communication.

Our course work in Communication and New Media at Shepherd University provides the skills necessary to communicate effectively using state-of-the-art technologies. Students graduate prepared for careers in industries as diverse as film, television, radio, advertising, public relations/social media and Web development.

The Department of Communication at Shepherd University fosters student learning through personal empowerment and achievement using technological skills, intellectual challenges and cultural insights to contribute to their understanding of culture, community and self. Ours is a program that integrates disciplinary philosophy with hands on technical training.

We strive to prepare students for employment at all levels of media (from production to management, mass to micro- media) through a rigorous program of cultural studies and computer-mediated communication.
