Department of Communication

Facilities

In addition to a liberal arts education, aiming to help our students develop disciplined critical thinking and analysis, we also provide excellent opportunities for hands-on training with state-of-the-art equipment. From our studios, editing bays and control room in Rocket Hall to the computer labs across campus, we provide Communication students with the software and technology they need to apply their learning experientially.

Whether it's the latest software, or a new broadcast-quality digital television camera, our facilities and equipment fill the need of today's communication students pursuing today's technology-driven careers. In our program, students learn by doing - writing, shooting, editing and recording. Our equipment, hardware, software, and studios provide the up-to-date resources to allow our students to build the skills they'll need to succeed in the workplace.
