Course Overview

Students at St. Francis put their talents to use in an HDTV studio and black box theater while using programs like Adobe InDesign and Adobe Premiere to create their own programs and publications.

Communication Arts majors choose from one of four concentrations:

  • Advertising / Public Relations
  • Digital Media: Film, Broadcasting, and Journalism
  • Performance Studies
  • English & Communications

 

The Communication Arts program seeks to approach today’s vast and rapidly changing communication and media world through a major in Communication Arts. Students may choose to concentrate in four areas of focused study: Digital Media: Film, Broadcasting, and Journalism; Advertising and Public Relations; Performance Studies; and English and Communication studies.

The Communication Arts Program is supported by a new TV studio installation capable of High Definition, by a new computer laboratory dedicated to video editing and advertising design, and by a multi-purpose black box theater fully equipped with professional lighting.

The program’s wide range of successful graduates provides an excellent network for mentoring and employment. Internships, available to qualified juniors and seniors, build on the program’s deep roots in New York City’s communication industries.
