Communications and Media Arts: A.S.

It is the continuing mission of the Communications & Media Arts Program of Broome Community College to provide its students with an intellectually stimulating and academically motivating environment in order to understand the fundamentals inherent to communication – the processes by which two or more people (or groups of people) meaningfully interact and exchange information, often with specific technological assistance.

The Communications & Media Arts Program is modeled after various four-year undergraduate programs offered across the country, and prepares students for either immediate employment or transfer to a baccalaureate program. With courses focusing on human communication and its relation to mass media’s role within cultures, the program is committed to producing graduates capable of fulfilling meaningful, positive leadership roles within the emerging global community.
