Communication and Media Studies

The Communication and Media Studies Program at Reinhardt provides an energetic and dynamic home for students who are fascinated with creating media in any form--digital film production, writing for the convergent media world, photography and digital imaging, web and graphic design--and also with studying the ever-changing cultural environment in which we produce and consume mass media.

Our curriculum is global in focus and provides students with practical, relevant and integrated communication literacy skills rooted in the critical understandings produced by a liberal arts education.

We equip students not only for the present but for the future. Our major programs provide a range of options by which students prepare for leadership in tomorrow's world.
