Communication and Culture
Overview
From the latest social media trends to direct, interpersonal interactions, culture is influenced by how we communicate. With a minor in communication and culture, you’ll unpack communication practices through the lens of faith to gain a unique viewpoint that will help you pursue your career.
Why study communication and culture at Gordon?
Throughout your communication studies you’ll be mentored by highly experienced Christian faculty who have navigated the corporate and nonprofit worlds. You’ll also work with a range of media, including print, digital and film.
What can Christians bring to communication and culture?
With focused communication skills and an understanding of what shapes culture, Christians can approach their work on mission. Knowing how to navigate difficult conversations from a place of understanding makes a difference in the outcome of any professional situation. Understanding how to use the strengths of a platform or medium to strategically communicate can help others feel connected to your mission.
