BS Communication, Media & Design
Students in Clarkson’s Communication, Media & Design degree develop a repertoire of communication, media production, and design skills with a solid understanding of theory and practice. Together, these prepare students to pursue professional careers or graduate programs in many dynamic fields.
Starting with a set of six required courses, students develop abilities which are the foundation of any successful 21st century career in communication: writing, speaking, graphic design, media production, teamwork and communication theory. Students then enhance and deepen these abilities through six additional communication courses, which can be focused in areas like new media, UX Design, video production, or online content creation. Students may select specific courses or, in conjunction with Communication, Media & Design faculty, create independent study projects to further personal and professional interests. Our faculty takes advantage of Clarkson’s technological environment to provide instruction in writing, speaking, graphic design, digital video and audio production, web design, information design, usability testing, public relations, environmental communication, and social media. Students work with our faculty in experiential learning projects, ongoing research activities, and regular classes to learn, design and experiment with the latest communication technologies. The Communication, Media & Design program at Clarkson has been designed to develop
