Are you passionate about ideas? Do you want to influence people? Do you love creative and innovative thinking? Then Maranatha’s New Media Communications program is for you. The New Media Communications minor provides a solid foundation in theories and models of communication, and then develops a practical understanding of the field.
In the introductory classes, you will build your own website and produce your own short film. Then you can take it up a notch to specialize in video production, photography, and website development. You will work in a collaborative environment with other students and faculty to bring your ideas to the public.
No matter what your major is, improving your communication skills will improve your effectiveness and help you stand out from the crowd when you are looking for a job. In the business and marketing professions, Communication professionals—especially those with Internet and media skills—are in high demand. If you are going into full-time local church ministry, you will have the ability to reach people for Christ and keep your members informed through the Internet and other media.
