Communication and Culture

Here, you’ll learn by doing. With hands-on opportunities in the media capital of the world, you’ll be able to gain the skills and experiences employers seek. And in addition to the big-city energy of New York, you’ll have a tight-knit, supportive campus community, eager for you to thrive.

Beyond the fundamentals of communication, media, and technology, you might dive deeper into political perspectives through courses like Media, Youth Culture, and Civic Discourse, or explore the cultural side through courses like Popular Music as Communication.

Besides positions at Fordham publications like The Ram and The Observer or at WFUV, our NPR-affiliate station, students have interned for ABC, Madison Square Garden, The New York Times, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and more.

When you graduate, you’ll be prepared for careers in a range of areas including digital media, production, journalism, public relations, and communications.

At Fordham, you’ll use AI as a tool to enhance your learning. Our program will equip you with the skills to navigate the ever-changing landscape of AI in the workforce. As a communication and culture major, you might use AI to enhance writing, research, and design, as well as to optimize the multimedia content you’ll produce.

You’ll also be able to earn credentials and paid micro-internships through IBM SkillsBuild’s Getting Started with AI course. All Fordham students and graduates have access to AI training through RamConnect, the University’s alumni and experiential learning platform.

Above all, you’ll learn skills that can’t be replaced by AI, such as critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence and integrity.
