Communication Arts

Communication is critical to a thriving society. As you develop this vital skill, you’ll explore how communication shapes our world—and our future. The communication arts major at Gordon stands at the intersection of creativity, strategy and vision, offering a robust platform for diverse careers. You’ll develop savvy in public speaking, writing and critical thinking, and will graduate confident in your ability to generate new ideas, offer creative solutions and convey compelling stories.

Go the extra mile!

All communication arts majors complete at least one internship. You may land one at places like Walden Media, In the Car, Peabody Essex Museum or Trevi Communications, to name a few. As a senior, you’ll be part of the Communication Arts Senior Exhibition (CASE)—an opportunity to showcase your skills in front of a public audience.

Outside of the communication arts requirements, students often get involved in a number of on-campus opportunities to expand their experience, including:

  • The Tartan: Gordon’s own student newspaper (in print and online)
  • Princemere: a collection of exceptional student work, selected through faculty nominations
  • The Idiom: a creative bi-annual student publication
  • Vox Populi: a literary journal featuring photography and creative nonfiction
  • Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership: equips students to initiate new and noble ventures
  • Office of College Communications and Marketing: home of the College blog, The Bell, and official social media channels
  • Campus Events Council: brings students together with creative events
