Communication skills are critical for success in any profession. Employers often identify effective communication skills as the number one criteria for hiring. A degree in Communications will enable students to choose careers in a wide-variety of fields, including: audio/visual production, broadcasting, management, public relations, marketing, teaching, human resources, event planning, as well as many others.

 

The Department of Communications at Nyack College exists to develop creative leaders centered on biblical values for global practice. The department will be entrepreneurial in spirit, ethical in focus, and global in orientation. It seeks to be a transformative influence that impacts local, national, and global communities, affirming a higher purpose for mass communication and multimedia production and seeking balance between individual profit, personal gain and the collective good of society.

 

The Department of Communications stresses a hands-on approach to learning. This practitioner-based method may vary from a student-based radio talk show to a global relief documentary.  Our faculty brings a blend of scholarship and professional training to the classroom. Communications students are passionate about the arts and motivated to become relevant in the world around them.
