Department of Mass Communication
Dr. Yolanda Campbell
The Department of Mass Communication provides programs to students preparing for careers in broadcast, print journalism, and public relations. The department seeks to impart the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed and valued in journalism and public relations. Students are expected to develop the discipline of working under deadlines, to use the English language properly, and to become knowledgeable about current news events. Each of three concentrations—Broadcast News, News Editorial, and Public Relations—consists of a common core of courses and a major area of specialization, along with electives at the junior and senior levels. The core courses are designed to develop a practical, theoretical, and ethical foundation common to all areas of the mass media.
