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 student’s ability to communicate effectively in today’s world.

competent creators in tomorrow's media landscape. The major also encourages students to develop fluency and
flexibility in all aspects of media arts production.
