Communication Department at Cal Lutheran offer a broad array of mass communication courses but requires that its graduates demonstrate proficiencies in writing, speaking and media production, requires at least one internship, and lays out a unique core curriculum that equips graduates with a background in mass media history, media writing and communication theory. The department boasts an award-winning student newspaper, The Echo, and a campus wide cable radio station and student news program. A degree in communication with a concentration in advertising and public relations, film and television production or journalism specified on the diploma is the choice of students who wish to specialize in a field. The general communication major, on the other hand, permits students to individualize their degrees, either in order to explore subjects of personal interest or to prepare for a career objective other than the concentration areas. In addition to regular course work, at least one cooperative education experience or senior project is required of each communication graduate. Many students choose to add a variety of media projects, internships, part-time employment, or field experience to their résumés. Cal Lutheran students have recently interned in: Television: KTLA; KNBC; CBS; Fox Television; CNN; KCAL; Bunim/Murray Productions. Radio: KCLU FM; KZLA FM. Newspapers: Ventura County Star; Los Angeles Times. Sports information departments: L.A. Clippers; L.A. Kings. Marketing departments: The Gap; Access Hollywood; Disney; J.D. Power; Amgen; Capitol Records; Warner Brothers. Because of its internship programs, contacts in the professional world and the excellent support of the Career Services Center, the placement rate for Cal Lutheran communication majors is quite impressive. Recent graduates have taken rewarding jobs in: public relations; human resources; media market research; education; publishing; radio; television or have entered graduate school. Students who desire to work as marketing communication department managers, marketing representatives, and trade negotiators for both private corporations and government agencies are directed to the marketing communication degree which appears later in this catalog. Cal Lutheran marketing communication graduates have gained the ability to research, plan, organize and direct internationally focused marketing campaigns and have acquired the interpersonal skills needed to move into upper management.
