Overview

The Media Writing and Journalism concentration in the Communication major at Eastern Connecticut State University prepares students for a variety of writing careers within the broad media spectrum. Students will demonstrate a professional level competency in an understanding of story structure and the real-world requirements of publishing their work in print, film, radio or the electronic media. Students will also understand the techniques and methods used to repurpose their writing across multiple media platforms.

Overview

Communication is fundamental to understanding the social, political, and cultural world. Communication professionals create and shape the stories we tell. They influence the way people share, receive and process information — an invaluable role that will always be in demand in our modern mediated global society. Employment opportunities are growing in the media, business, education, politics, and arts industries.

Eastern’s Department of Communication fosters creativity and cooperative learning. Faculty use applied professional examples to teach in friendly interactive class environments. The recently renovated Communication Building offers state-of-the-art classrooms and labs that provide students with hands-on experience. A major and two minors are offered. Communication majors work in state-of-the-art audio and video production laboratories, offering applied experiences students need to launch careers after graduation.
