Welcome to the Department of
Media and Communication

The world of communication is continuously reinvented as new media platforms emerge. At SFA, our media and communication students are prepared for the ever-changing digital world through hands-on learning opportunities with the latest technology, which allows our Lumberjacks to graduate fully career ready.  

Areas of Study
