Program Description
The Communications Program at Southampton offers an
integrated cross-disciplinary course of study that provides
students with the knowledge and skills to understand and
serve in the fast-growing communications field.
Because it draws from the whole range of the College
curriculum, the program offers students courses taught
by distinguished practitioners in broadcasting, business,
film, television, journalism, creative writing, and social
sciences.
Students in the Communications major receive a solid
foundation in communication skills and liberal studies
and then go on to choose a concentration within the program
in any one of three areas: broadcasting, advertising and
public relations, or theater and film.
The program is designed to be flexible, so that students
may pursue a course of study best suited to their individual
interests and their career objectives.
The Communications Program is administered and supervised
by the Arts and Media Division of the College.
