Communication is a liberal arts discipline, rooted in persuasive speaking and writing. It is also a pre-professional discipline that prepares you for a career in mass media. The power of language and image is evident in nearly every part of our daily lives. This presentation of media shapes private, public and corporate opinions. By studying communication, you'll be an influencer of these opinions. You'll also be flexible enough to adapt to change as digital media technology evolves. New York City is the news and media capitol of the U.S., and home to the headquarters of every major media company. At Manhattan College, you are only a 30-minute subway ride from midtown Manhattan.
