Overview

Program Description Communication is a degree targeted to new opportunities in a media-savvy world. Students in the major take a common set of core courses that prepare them for careers in an industry where convergence in print and online media is growing. Students choose one of four concentrations: Human Communication, Journalism, Public Relations, and Graphic Design. In addition to the required course work, students complete an internship and a capstone seminar presenting the results of an extensive print, public relations, or media project. Chatham's program allows you to explore related disciplines, such as media arts, within the same degree program. As you learn applied skills combined with history, theory, and context, you will gain a strong and creative foundation for life beyond college. Program Highlights As a communication student, you are encouraged to participate in the Communiqué, Chatham’s twice-monthly newspaper and a member of the Associated Collegiate Press. All reporting, writing, photography, design, and layout for the Communiqué is handled by students, giving you the opportunity to create a dynamic portfolio and preparing you for internships and jobs. All students complete a capstone seminar that channels the knowledge they’ve accumulated into a discipline-specific project under close faculty guidance. Chatham is one of the few universities across the country that offers such an independent and student-driven program. You’ll have the opportunity to work extensively with audio-visual equipment, including camcorders; DSLRs; studio and location lighting systems; tripods; dollies; microphones; audio mixers; and recorders. Students also have access to editing labs, a designated studio space, and an audio booth.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
