For other Communication Department majors, see Communication and Media Arts.
The Communication Department exists to educate students in the development of skills that will enable them to
appropriately and creatively utilize the latest technology to communicate Christ creatively. To be a competent
communicator one must know the Word that God gave us and the World God created.
The common core of the Digital Media & Cinema program provides a foundation in essential disciplines that will
contribute to the student’s ability to communicate effectively in today’s world.
The Digital Media & Cinema major is designed to allow students to follow their interests and passions while
developing their skills and talents. It trains the student as a producer of digital media productions in the
understanding of cinematography, video editing, motion graphics, audio recording, and script writing. Students
gain valuable experience in both production and postproduction settings. They will work behind the scenes to
shoot, light, edit short films, music videos, short documentaries, and cinematic features. Experience in musical
scores, sound tracks, dialogue, and foley effects are also are part of the academic experience.
See Appendix A for graduation requirements.
