Media literacy – the ability to access and evaluate the information you consume – is a vital study area in this age of “post-truth.” Providence will give you the edge as a critical consumer of media and one who can learn to create media that will ultimately change the world. Communications and Media graduates are provided a well-rounded understanding of media industries and draw on the considerable experience and expertise of faculty.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES

Before deciding to enroll in a university-level program, you may ask the question, “What will I know and what will I be able to do by the time I complete my degree?” That’s why we need program outcomes which indicate the scope of knowledge, skills, and abilities students should possess when they graduate with their Bachelor of Arts in Communications & Media. These outcomes are detailed in a comprehensive assessment plan that you can download HERE.
