 What we teach 

 

 

 
We are proud and excited to offer our new major in  
Strategic Communication and Digital Media 

A new major in Strategic Communication and Digital Media has been approved by the New York State Education Department and will be offered at St. Bonaventure University starting in fall 2012. The new bachelor’s degree program will be the second major offered by the Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass Communication, which has offered a major in Journalism (now known as Journalism/Mass Communication) since 1947. The new major will equip students with the practical skills and ethical decision-making needed to guide the future of interpersonal, organizational and cultural communication within businesses and organizations.

Great communicators are always in demand

The Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass Communication at St. Bonaventure has a long and rich history of graduating students who excel in whatever field they enter.

 

That’s because we concentrate on teaching our students how to gather, analyze and communicate information, and we do it within the context of a broad liberal arts background.

 

Virtually every occupation values those skills, and our graduates utilize them in a variety of professions — journalism, public relations, advertising, Internet enterprises, business, even law. Our professors have more than 230 years’ experience in those areas and others.

 

We pride ourselves in weaving ethics into each of our courses because we believe the society we send our students into deserves the highest standards possible.

 

We emphasize developing competence in writing, editing and reporting applicable to the print and broadcast media. JMC majors have many opportunities to put theory into practice through such campus media outlets as The Bona Venture weekly newspaper, the SBU-TV campus TV station, the WSBU-FM campus radio station, The Laurel literary magazine, The Bonadieu yearbook, and a host of campus organizations.

 

Our new major, Strategic Communication and Digital Media, features a 12-credit course that offers students the opportunity to act as members/employees of an advertising/PR/marketing firm in an agency setting on campus. The new major has a sharp focus on digital and emerging media, ensuring that students receive exposure to cutting-edge communication channels and techniques, understanding how they’re used and how they relate to traditional media.
