Mass Communication options include advertising, television/film, journalism, public relations and radio.  Southeast is one of just 20 institutions nationwide to achieve accreditation from the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) in the five professional mass communication areas: advertising, journalism, public relations, radio and television/film. The only other accredited Missouri institution is the University of Missouri-Columbia,   As a mass communication major at Southeast, you will have outstanding opportunities to gain first-hand experience through internships or practicums in your field, including positions with newspapers, magazines, advertising and public relations agencies, radio and television stations, corporations and not-for-profit agencies.   Southeast’s Mass Communication program also enhances your classroom activities by incorporating practical experience through several on-campus student media outlets with your in-class studies. These outlets include a campus newspaper, a low-power FM radio station, television station, and the National Public Radio affiliate for our region.

Our ongoing relationships with local media organizations help you develop contacts with communication professionals, thus enhancing your networking opportunities and professional knowledge.

Mass Communication student organizations give you additional opportunities to further your experience and be involved with numerous professional activities, including seminars and conferences, campaigns, hands-on projects, client relationships and video and audio projects.

Southeast understands the importance of keeping up with the latest technology. As a mass communication student, you will have the opportunity to train in state-of-the-art facilities that will prepare you to enter the exciting and ever-changing field of communication.

Southeast students benefit from small classes and a low student-faculty ratio of 17 to 1. In addition, all Mass Communication skills-related classes are limited to fewer than 20 students per section.

Southeast’s Department of Mass Media is affiliated with the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication.
