Our department offers two communication majors and two minors and boasts a faculty committed to providing students with an understanding of the theories and practices of their respective disciplines. We do this by combining real-world experiences with real-world studies to teach students real-world skills.
The Broadcasting major is designated as a “Pillar of Distinction” at West Liberty University. Over the next ten years, career opportunities for broadcast news analysts are projected to increase nationwide by six percent.
This major is perfect for students with multiple interests and diverse talents. It also offers one or two concentrations:
Journalism-public relations
Design production
Media production
This program provides our students with the theory and practice for a rewarding career in journalism.
The PR minor builds on foundational principles while allowing the student to have an emphasis in a number of disciplines; graphic design, journalism, communications, PR research and theory, and social media.
