Catholic University's Department of Media and Communication Studies provides a humanities-centered education in media literacy for students who will become lifelong interpreters, users, and producers of mediated texts.
Our curriculum emphasizes the cultural and historical specificity of media in their many contemporary forms, engaging approaches ranging from classical rhetoric to contemporary cultural studies. We take advantage of our position in the nation's capital to develop key internships and career placement for students.
Media and Communication Studies' mission aims to exemplify the Catholic mission and identity of the University through collaboration with other departments and organizations in projects addressing social justice and underserved populations in the District of Columbia.
