Today’s methods of
mass communicating information through the print and electronic
media require developing proficiency in the traditional skills
of written and visual presentations as well as exploring new
techniques and new media. The impact of 24-hour cable news,
satellite radio, web-based newsletters, web newspapers and
global systems require today’s mass communication major to be
both specifically and broadly educated. Courses at YVCC offer
the future media employee opportunities to meet these needs,
while completing an Associate of Arts degree. The majority of
these courses directly transfer to most senior institutions.
For example – CMU 150 Mass Communications is the basic
introduction to the subject, counts as five credits in the A.A.
degree and is a transferable requirement for majors at the
University of Washington and Washington State University.
