Why Journalism and Mass Communication?
The JMC major at AUBG offers students both the theoretical foundation and the practical skills to pursue careers and opportunities in content creation, marketing, graphic design, news reporting, digital storytelling, advertising, video and documentary production, photography, or podcasting.
Repeatedly ranked #1 by the National University Rankings, the JMC major emphasizes a hands-on, project-based curriculum and features international faculty members with professional experience, industry credentials, and a strong desire to mentor and teach.
Classroom work is complimented with a range of student clubs and extracurricular activities like exhibitions, film festivals, and pop-up events. On a variety of storytelling platforms, students explore their passions, their communities and the issues that matter from the local to the global.
Why Liberal Arts?
What’s special about the Liberal Arts education model is that it gives you the freedom to explore your interests in different fields, making the best out of the many educational options available. For example, you could double major in Journalism and Mass Communication and Business Administration and prepare for a successful career in marketing and PR. Or you could combine JMC and Political Science and begin a professional path in politics. There are also many minor programs at AUBG to choose from -- such as Integrated Marketing Communications, Entrepreneurship, Public Policy, and Film and Theater Studies – to further expand your JMC studies.
