Media Communication Department

How We Stand Out

Experienced Faculty. Our professors have extensive experience working in the fields that they teach.
Hands-On Learning. Our degree plans offer a practical, hands-on approach to learning.
Outstanding Facilities. Students have access to well-equipped video, yearbook and newspaper labs in the Roland Fine Arts Center.
Small Student-to-Teacher Ratio. You are not just a number at HLG. Our smaller classes allow you to get to know your professors during your academic career.
Varied Emphases. Students can choose to focus on one of three practical tracks of study: broadcast communication, journalism or public relations.

Internships. Media Communication students gain practical experience through required internships.
Newspaper. By working on staff for Horizons, our on-campus newspaper, students have the opportunity to learn theory, writing, layout, editing and advertising first-hand.
Yearbook. Students who choose to work on the campus yearbook have ample opportunity to gain experience in layout, photography and copywriting.

Continued Study. Students who wish to continue to graduate work will have a solid foundation for further study.
Varied Career Paths. With any of the majors available through Media Communication, students have a variety of career choices before them in areas such as broadcast, journalism, public relations, photography, writing, and more.
