Are you fascinated by the way the media shape our world? Do you want to learn to craft focused, compelling, message-driven content that cuts through the noise and reaches your intended audience? At St. Norbert College, we provide a solid background in communication research and analysis, targeting audiences and evaluating your results. When you major in communication and media studies here, you’ll learn how to tell stories that are compelling and human, and you’ll learn to think critically about how those messages shape our world.
As a communication and media studies major at SNC, we’ll teach you how to think critically about your intended audience and the message you want to convey. You’ll develop strong skills in analysis and writing, and be able to target specific groups without alienating others. These skills are invaluable in the workplace or in graduate school.
