Mass Communication Programs

WSU’s Mass Communication Department offers 3 majors and 5 minors. We also offer a master’s degree in Strategic Communication. 

Our programs provide students with the experience they need to communicate in mass markets using an array of media: newspaper, magazine, TV, radio, Internet, photography and more.

We also prepare students to take advantage of future careers that may not even exist yet in the communication world.

Advertising and Public Relations majors complete Campaigns, a capstone course that simulates what it’s like to work as a real-world agency on a strategic communication campaign for their products and services. You’ll get hands-on experience collaborating with a client before you graduate, giving you an edge on the competition in the job market.
