Communication Major, Advertising/Graphic Design Concentration (B.A.)

This program is designed to prepare students who anticipate a career in written, verbal, or media communication and will enable students to apply critical thinking skills in the application of biblical principles to the field of communication.

Program Requirements

I. Christian Studies - 24 Credits

II. General Education - 40 Credits

III. Communication Core - 22 Credits

IV. Communication Concentrations (select one) - 15 Credits:

V. Electives - 24 Credits*

  • Electives 9 Credits
  • 300-400 Electives 15 Credits

At least 30% of this degree, or a minimum of 38 credits, must be at the upper (300-400) level. If you choose to take lower-level Christian Studies core classes (CHM 201  or CHM 211 ), then you must take enough upper-level general electives to meet this requirement.

* Some courses from the Christian Studies Core and Major Core can be used to fulfill requirements in the General Education Core. By doing that the number of electives needed would increase so that the minimum of 125 credits is reached.

Advertising/Graphic Design Concentration Requirements - 15 Credits

Total - 125 Credits

1 Select humanities electives from COM, ENG, ESL, FAR, HIS, HUM, LAN, MUS, PHI, or PRC.

2 Select social science electives from ANT, CSJ, ECO, ESL, GEO, HIS, POL, PSY, or SOC.

3 Fine arts courses include music, art, drama, and dance. COM 328  also qualifies as a fine arts elective. (Only three credits of music organizations and/or lessons can be counted toward humanities/fine arts requirements.)
