BA/BS in Communication and Media Studies

Ohio Wesleyan's communication major pairs a liberal arts foundation with training in how messages are built and delivered. Coursework touches digital media skills, persuasion, and communication across cultures, so graduates are expected to write and speak clearly while handling current media technology. Every major completes an internship, and each student finishes a substantial capstone project guided by a faculty mentor. Placements can be with local, regional, or national organizations, publications, and broadcast stations, and the university's own marketing office hosts openings in areas like news writing, social media, photography, and video. Graduates can aim at work in digital media, public relations, advocacy, advertising, or internal organizational communication. Many students add a second major, with creative writing and English literature among the common choices. A minor in the subject is available for those who prefer a lighter commitment.
