Department of Media & Communication (MC)

 From the moment I first arrived at MIU in late August, 2018, I knew it was a very special place. The sense of community, the welcoming environment, and the relationships I have developed with our students make it unlike any American or international university I’ve experienced. The level of care for individual students is unparalleled, and the university environment provides unique opportunities for personal and professional development for faculty and students alike. MIU enables academic achievement with personal growth in a way that produces graduates well equipped for both international careers and advanced study. The Media and Communication program in particular combines relevant coursework with international exposure to prepare students for a variety of fields, from journalism to marketing to social media production. MC students study important aspects of their field in a curriculum based on international standards. They also have hands-on, experiential learning opportunities through a series of practical courses and internships with local and international news organizations. I’m proud to be part of the MIU faculty and help our students learn, thrive, and succeed.
