Communication touches every aspect of life and The Master’s University pushes students to excel in their chosen focus in a way that is glorifying to the Lord. In a classroom taught by working professionals, students are equipped with hands-on experience as individuals well as working as part of a team. Each year they work together to create projects like short films and graphic novels, which can later be used in their professional portfolios. The essential elements of Christianity — evangelization and edification — require practical communication skills. The Department of Communication, therefore, seeks to identify and develop the spiritual gifts of students in order to incorporate those gifts under Christ and His plan. Courses in the Department of Communication emphasize the theory and practice of speech communication, film, photography, animation, computer graphics, editing, creative writing, and graphic design. Every graduate leaves well equipped for the working world.
