Communications 91 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS
Chair: Dr. Gregory Pitts, 105 Communications Building, 256-765-4247 Faculty: Ms. Darnell, Mr. Dowd, Mr. Flynn, Dr. Garfrerick, Dr. Huddleston,
Ms. Lee, Dr. Martin, Dr. McMullen, Ms. Montgomery, Dr. Sanders The department offers major programs in Communication Arts and Mass Communication. The Communication Arts program offers individual options in film and digital media production, public communication, and theatre. The Mass Communication program offers individual options in broadcast journal- ism, journalism, media studies, public relations, and radio-television and interactive media. These major programs may lead to the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree. The department offers minor fields in broad- cast journalism, digital media production, journalism, mass communication, public communication, public relations, screenwriting, and theatre as well as basic coursework required in the general education component in all degree programs.
All options in the Department of Communications provide students with skills to pursue careers in the option areas. The areas of study are well suited for students wishing to pursue additional post-graduate study.
The communication arts major provides an educational approach tailor- ing a common core of communications classes with a specific combination of theoretical and applied courses in communications, film and digital media, or theatre, and a liberal arts-based education.
• The film and digital media production option allows students to engage in artistic growth while developing professional film and digital production qualifications.
• The public communication option emphasizes the applied and theoreti- cal aspects of human communication as a social science.
• The theatre option is designed for students who wish to pursue a profes- sional career in acting or theatre operations or for those who seek advanced theatre study.
The mass communication major provides preprofessional communica- tions training, including a core of skills-based mass communications course- work to establish effective writing and research skills, with a liberal arts- based education. Students in mass communication learn to gather, analyze and convey information through mass communication channels.
• The broadcast journalism option combines theory and news gathering skills with electronic media production for broadcast media.
• The journalism option provides theory, news gathering skills and news preparation for print and online media.
• The media studies option enables students to explore preprofessional medial skill development while also studying the societal impact of media content, forms and formats.
92 Communications
• The public relations option provides preprofessional training for careers in public relations information services or further study in applied commu- nications.
• The radio-television and interactive media option provides students with theoretical and production skills necessary for careers in broadcasting and cable.
Students are assisted in their career entry with Portfolio Preparation (COM/TH 420); topics include job hunting, resume preparation, and prepa- ration of a portfolio of student work. This class will include the university required exit examination.
Communication majors participate in journalism, public relations, film and digital media production, theatrical productions, and radio or television activ- ities through course credit or extracurricular activities.
