Start telling real stories from your first year
You will host shows, report live, and build a real portfolio from your first semester, not your junior year.
A Communications major at Goshen College prepares you for careers in journalism, broadcasting, film, public relations, and digital media. You take classes across journalism, public relations, radio and television broadcasting, writing, multimedia, and film studies.
You jump into hands-on work right away, the kind students at larger schools often wait years to reach. Courses are interdisciplinary and built around real production, so you learn the equipment by using it, and you graduate with published work, real shows, and at least one internship on your résumé.

A place that learns your name
Small classes mean a professor coaches you by name. Since 2020, the Center for Communication Studies has pulled the award-winning television, radio, and print programs under one roof, so you work alongside the same team every day, with Globe announcers on the air and student staff in a busy newsroom.
Students arrive in Goshen, Indiana, from across the country and around the world, and the community welcomes you whatever your background, religious or not, domestic or international. You do not need to know media when you arrive. You need people who will catch you while you learn, and you find them in your first week.

What you’ll study
The curriculum is built with working professionals, so you learn current tools in visual communication and electronic media. Move between journalism, public relations, radio and television broadcasting, writing, multimedia, and film studies, and develop leadership running real programming at 91.1 The Globe.
You complete at least one off-campus internship and are encouraged to do more. In addition, you can take part in the Study-Service Term, Goshen’s signature program connecting global learning, cultural immersion, and service. View the complete program requirements in our catalog.

Your first semester. You can go on the air at 91.1 The Globe (WGCS), write for The Record student newspaper, and work with FiveCore Media, rather than waiting until your junior year as students at many larger schools do. You graduate with real shows, published work, and at least one internship already completed.
