B.A. in Communication, Writing, and Media
Do you have a knack for communicating through words, radio, or video? A career in communication, media, and writing could be in your future.
Centenary University’s Department of Business, Media and Writing takes a unique approach to the field of communication. We’re one of only a few universities to concentrate writing, media, and video into one department. That’s because in the real world, professionals from these fields—writers, television producers, and radio talent—often collaborate to create messages that inform and entertain. It takes a versatile communicator to work across disciplines to create content that truly engages.
