DIGITAL MEDIA & COMMUNICATION

Digital Media & Communication

A degree in digital media and communication is the gateway to careers in numerous fields including journalism, television, film, public relations, marketing and education.

The digital media and communication program gives students the academic knowledge and practical experience needed to enter, and excel in, the ever-growing, exciting and often lucrative field of communication.

Hilbert professors bring communication industry experience into the classroom, where the student-teacher ratio is 11-to-1. Small class sizes provide an opportunity to build mentoring relationships with professors, many of whom have industry contacts.

This major is designed with that diversity in mind, providing concentrations in four key areas:

  • Integrated Marketing
  • Graphic Design
  • Film and Visual Effects
  • Multimedia Journalism

Students in all four concentrations will gain real-world experience through a senior-year capstone project that allows them to showcase their creativity and acquired skills. Capstones range from various internships to independent projects.
