Communications
Communication is at the heart of the human experience. Students in the Communications degree program at Southern Vermont College will develop an ability to discern how we receive and digest information, gain an understanding of the culture of broadcasting, and explore the world of the media. The social aspects and impacts of communication, as well as the ethical, moral, and stereotypical implications of language and media, are integral to the study of mass media. Interdisciplinary by design, students will experience real-life, hands-on learning by writing, editing, and producing newspapers as well as working with local radio and television stations. Students in both tracks will be working extensively in their fields through practicum and internship opportunities. This degree program provides increased opportunities for personal and public success by emphasizing not just the technology but the comprehensive and complex relationships among community, communication, information, culture, youth, and media.
