The purpose of the Department of Mass Communications is to provide a program of study in the theoretical and practical dimensions of mass communications – electronic media and journalism. Students also have opportunities to apply their education in campus, community and commercial media, as well as to prepare for advanced studies. While a minor is not required, students are encouraged to select another course of study for a minor program. The Department of Mass Communications offers Bachelor of Arts degree programs in Mass Communications with a choice of either Journalism or Electronic Media learning tracks to prepare students for careers in journalism and broadcasting. Students gain “real world” experience working in the department-run WSNC 90.5 FM National Public Radio station, RAM-TV21 student television station, and The News Argus campus newspaper.
