The average American is exposed to over 3,000 ads a day—from television and radio advertisements to billboards, Web ads and sponsored text messages. In fact, you’ll spend about 3 years of your life watching TV ads alone.

We see you learning how to analyze and critique media texts, including those in newspapers, magazines, film, advertisements and new media—and you’ll create written, oral, and visual media content of your own.

In our evening communication major program, you will discover how people experience and understand media content, and you’ll explore the roles of the media in our rapidly evolving society. You’ll be prepared for a new career in this exciting field or to advance in your current role and become a leader.

We recognize that our adult students have a lot of responsibilities, so we’ve designed this program to be available to be taken through evening classes, in addition to traditional daytime classes so that you can more easily complete your education with your busy schedule.

Many Cedar Crest students choose to combine a major in communication with business, marketing, political science, English, or education, because they understand that employees with communication and media literacy skills are in high demand. You’ll be prepared to

A strong background in communication can prepare you for graduate studies and/or careers in:

  • Newspapers and magazines
  • Radio
  • Film production and development
  • Marketing and public relations
  • Business management
  • Public policy
  • Ethics and legal fields

Coming to Cedar Crest with some previous credits under your belt? We see how hard you worked for your previous credits, so that’s why we’ve developed a generous transfer credit policy. Our transfer counselors will help you make sure you can finish strong.
