Bachelor of Arts in Communication

Program Overview

What can you do with a communication degree? Job applicants today must have the tools to frame effective messages in a wide variety of media and platforms. To that end, not only does the Communication Department at Cal Lutheran offer a broad array of mass communication courses but requires that its graduates demonstrate proficiencies in writing, speaking and media production, requires at least one internship, and lays out a unique core curriculum that equips graduates with a background in mass media history, media writing and communication theory. The department boasts an award-winning student newspaper, The Echo, and a campuswide cable radio station and student news program.

A degree in communication with a concentration in advertising and public relations, film and television production or journalism specified on the diploma is the choice of students who wish to specialize in a field. The general communication major, on the other hand, permits students to individualize their degrees, either in order to explore subjects of personal interest or to prepare for a career objective other than the concentration areas.
