The Department of Communication & Film Studies
Look for News & Events below
The Department of Communication & Film Studies values the art of the narrative, the foundational element for all media professionals, from journalists to filmmakers, editors to public relations professionals, broadcasters to web designers. As such, no matter which concentration a student chooses—journalism, radio/TV broadcasting, advertising, public relations, media studies or filmmaking—he or she will be taught how narratives work and how to make them work.
The department values, too, deep technical expertise and broad adaptability across media technologies. Students in Communication and Film Studies therefore gain extensive training in everything from the production of newspapers to the design of websites, from non-linear editing to digital video and audio recording. By the time they graduate, all Le Moyne Communication and Film Studies students will have had the opportunity to acquire the technical skills and the writing, visual, and verbal talents needed for long-lasting professional success in the dynamically evolving and ever-converging media world.
The department’s curriculum is enriched by a liberal-arts education that nurtures in students a wide-ranging critical literacy and a deep social responsibility, so that Communication and Film Studies graduates enter media professions or graduate school ready to contribute creatively, ethically, and learnedly.
