The Multimedia Communication and Journalism (MMCJ) major converges the disciplines of traditional and new media into a single stream of theory and experiential pedagogy which empowers students and trains them to excel in the print, broadcast, and digital media industries. 

The current MMCJ major equips students with the essential tools that enable them to become knowledgeable about contemporary theories and research issues, develop excellent writing skills, gain production and presentation skills, and graduate as critical thinkers, innovators and pioneers in the contemporary and transforming media industry. 

The major stresses the essentials of media ethics, news gathering, research, audio and video production, writing for multi-platform delivery, with a particular emphasis on the instantaneous dissemination advantages of social media.

Students graduate fully ready to create content in the different media platforms. 

Within the MMCJ major, students choose between two specializations: Communication and Journalism.
