Communications

Discover the world of communications at Long Island's Molloy College and become part of one of the most contemporary, exciting and challenging fields. Our stimulating undergraduate degree program combines valuable hands-on experience with academic training. We'll guide you through the dynamic interplay of communication theory and practice and then show you how to effectively translate the skills you learn into professional employment or graduate study.

Our goal is to prepare each student to enter the vibrant communication workplaces of the 21st century. We give our communications students a solid foundation of skills, knowledge and practical experience. We prepare our graduates to face the challenges of an ethically complex world by offering theoretical and critical courses. Students also complete exciting internships at prominent media, public relations and other companies. The result is a unique multi-dimensional learning experience that includes:

  • Faculty who are published scholars and experienced professionals, as well as excellent teachers dedicated to their students' success
