THE CONNECTED DEGREE 2 + 2 CURRICULUM

Delaware Tech's associate degree program in Communications provides essential background for students preparing for careers in the print or broadcasting media. Students will learn how to write news articles as well as how to operate radio and television equipment. Instruction is given in copy writing and in selling advertisements for different types of media. The program emphasizes hands-on experience with students serving two internships prior to graduation. Wesley College's Bachelor of Science degree in Multimedia Communication provides a broad liberal arts foundation as well as courses dealing with the ways in which the media shape the public mind. Issues of production and consumption of media forms in theoretical and practical terms are considered. One group of courses investigates the theories behind the media process, while another group focuses on hands-on media production experiences in areas such as journalism, video production, radio production, web development and designing for print. Students apply their newfound skills in the College's television station, internet radio station, newspaper, and online news site. Students will enter organizations or institutions in need of creative people who can produce media messages consistent with that organization?s objectives.
