The Department of Communications Media prepares students to work in all fields of media: television and film production, audio recording, radio broadcasting, photography, graphic design, animation, games and simulations, media promotion, media marketing, public relations, research, project management, consulting, news writing, and scriptwriting. We are housed in IUP's College of Education and Communications.
Communications Media majors take advantage of a flexible curriculum that allows them to take a broad range of courses or to concentrate their education into a specialized set of courses. Students may choose one of four tracks: Media Marketing, Media Studies, News Media, or Media Production to design a program that fits their career goals. IUP-TV, WIUP-FM and other student organizations provide hands-on experience in production, writing, and promotion outside the classroom.
