Overview

Mass Communications is offered by Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. At SIUE, our students receive one-on-one attention from their instructors due to small class sizes and curriculum that keeps up with changes in the media industry.

Key Facts

Students have access to state-of-the-art facilities and faculty members who dedicate themselves to serving the professional and intellectual needs of students. Currently the 23rd largest media market in the United States, St. Louis provides numerous media resources to our students. Working media professionals teach many of our skills courses and guest speakers are regularly invited to campus. Students in the mass communications program have access to internship opportunities only possible in a major media market, and our students are placed in all major media outlets in St. Louis, including the communication departments of the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Blues. While most of the program curriculum is a shared experience by all majors, students take advanced courses specific to their chosen specialization. At its heart, our department is all about teaching students how to tell stories. Students who major in mass communications but choose not to enter the media industry will be well prepared, thoughtful and effective communicators.
