Description
The Department of Communications at Simmons is an interactive, student-centered learning environment that employs a creative approach to communication education led by a faculty of professionals and scholars. Students develop a balance of in-depth understandings of concepts and theory and the practical skills needed to produce media content in a variety of professional settings including business, education, human services, journalism, entertainment, politics, public relations, social media, advertising, and design. This balance prepares our students for the jobs of today, as well as for the jobs of tomorrow, because they have also learned to adapt to the demands of rapid changes in media and technology. Our approach is highly interdisciplinary: collaborating with and among the disciplines of political science and international relations, public health, computer science, art, sociology, and cinema and media studies. This program of study is highly experiential, culminating in advanced coursework and capstone experiences like internships and Studio Five, the department’s student-run, professional communications agency.
