The Department
Students involved in Northwest's
Department of Mass Communication say they are confident
they made the correct decision when it came to choosing
the right college for them. The department has a small,
friendly atmosphere and allows plenty of opportunities for
hands-on experience. Many students begin working on the
publications and broadcast outlets during their first year.
Students say the friendly faculty members and unlimited
opportunities for experience are what most attracted them
to Northwest.
For those students interested in finding their own niche
in the country's vast media environment, the Department
of Mass Communication offers something for everyone. Northwest
has two radio stations, a television station and a video
production unit for students interested in broadcasting.
In the print realm, Northwest offers a weekly newspaper,
a yearbook and a regional online travel and leisure magazine.

Northwest also offers opportunities in tune with the expanding
technology now available to media organizations. This includes
a daily online newspaper and the yearbook DVD supplement.
These publications and broadcast outlets have a long history
of award winning coverage. See page **** for Northwest's recent
accomplishments.
Writing skills are emphasized throughout the curriculum.
Students benefit from a coaching style of instruction in the
classroom and from dedicated advisers at the student media
outlets. These plans take advantage of the University's summer
trimester course offerings.
