MissionStatement
The technologies and attendant cultures of
the Information Age are deeply impacting
human communication in the 21st Century. Global
and local cultures are undergoing profound shifts in
communication practices. Media and visual literacy are
increasingly as foundational for an educated citizenry
as reading, writing and speaking, and there is not a career
path unaffected by the convergence of older oral and print
cultures with the burgeoning world of digital communication.
The Department of Communication and Digital
Media at Carthage is committed to helping
students develop the understandings and practical
skills necessary for effective communication and
leadership in these changing circumstances.
The CDM Department
constantly strives to create
an environment conducive to
creating connections. These
connections can fuel years of creative
thinking and push any student far
beyond their concieved boundries. When
a student connects with an idea, or
with a faculty member, or with a fellow
peer, great things will happen.
Our Graphic Design Major Program has been
fine tuned to prepare students to the fullest extent for designing in the real world. Web Design, App Design, Time Based Media, and Senior Seminar are just a few of the many courses designed to keep students up to date
on the latest and greatest.
