Become a MultiplatformMedia Professional,and Effectively Communicatewith the World.
Our Communications and Mass Media programs prepare students for the labor market to assume positions in the mass media industry or in the media department of any company or non-profit organization. Also, the programs have an interesting focus on entrepreneurship which trains students to become freelancers and independent media makers. South Florida hosts leading and progressive media companies. Through UIC’s internship program, students develop extensive experience in the media field, which may result in employment. Also, all our courses are practical and offer as much field experience as possible.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, media and communication occupations are expected to grow 4% from 2014 to 2024 generating approximately 27,400 new jobs.
