Program details

Overview

Communication majors at McDaniel examine how people create meaning through spoken, written, visual and mediated messages. The program looks at everything from face-to-face conversation to social platforms and news media, and asks how stories are told and how audiences are persuaded. Students work along two strands. The media studies strand focuses on designing messages for particular audiences and understanding the legal, historical, economic and cultural place of media institutions. The research strand builds the ability to carry out a social science study and to locate reliable information. Courses are project and team based, with offerings such as social marketing, and the major ends with a capstone. It pairs naturally with Cinema and leads toward careers in media and professional communication.
