Students who major or minor in Communication select from three overlapping areas of concentration: Creative Strategic Content (strategic communication/ multimedia journalism/social media marketing), New Media Design, or Film/ Television/Video. While all Communication majors study and produce in all areas, the concentrations denote intensive areas of focus and work. Minors are also available in each concentration area.

“ The Communication department does a phenomenal job at creating classes and assignments that directly correlate to what you do in the field. I worked full time while I was at Centenary, and I was learning technical skills in the classroom and then immediately using those skills at work.”
