Southwestern Adventist University

There is great demand both in the United States and around the world for men and women skilled in creating and managing the elements of communication. It is the aim of this department to strengthen students’ personal, public, and professional communication skills.

Communication students at Southwestern Adventist University choose one of the department’s three major areas of study.

• Journalism
• PR and Advertising
• Radio-TV-Film

The department also offers a minor in Speech Communication.

Many communication students acquire valuable training and experience at one or more of the following facilities on or adjoining the campus.

• 88.3 KJCR, the University’s FM station
• Channel 31 KGSW, the University’s TV station
• The Studios at Southwestern, our digital audio and video production facility

The department encourages all upper division majors to complete an off-campus internship in their major field. Even before graduation, and sometimes as a direct result of internship positions, many of our majors are hired by these communication firms.

Communication alumni from Southwestern who have continued their education through graduate school have done so very successfully. This department prepares men and women to meet the challenges and to take advantage of the opportunities of Christian communication professionals in today's world.
