B.A. Degree in Communication and Media Studies - Journalism Concentration

In the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham, you’ll study the media technologies, industries, and institutions that support our mediated communications-and their relationship to culture and society. Our program takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of communication. You’ll gain media literacy through critical, analytical, and practical knowledge. And you’ll learn the essential tools of journalism, broadcasting, marketing, and digital media. Our faculty members are a dynamic mix of media scholars and industry leaders who serve as models of critical dialogue. We emphasize values and ethics in various settings, including public interest, government, NGO, and corporate cultures. But you’ll learn more than communications here. You’ll also study philosophy, theology, history, mathematics, languages, and the performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. Is there an industry where it’s not important to express yourself clearly, be technologically savvy, and listen to what others have to say? The skills you learn in the communications department are useful in a range of sectors. Some of the positions our graduates hold: Producer, Forbes Media Public Relations Manager, Liz Claiborne Correspondent, WNYC FM Editor, VP for New Media, Razor & Tie Entertainment Assistant Dean, Fordham University Journalism concentration courses The Power of News Science Journalism First-Person Writing Inside The New York Times
