Communication Arts

Today's successful communications professional needs skills that cover multiple delivery platforms – digital, visual and written. NYIT's B.F.A. program in communication arts takes a hands-on, multidisciplinary approach to education, ensuring that you receive a solid foundation in communication theory and practical education on the same state-of-the-art equipment you'll use in the real world.

The communication arts department offers a variety of undergraduate specializations, structured to prepare students for careers in radio, audio recording, film, television, multimedia production, print and electronic journalism, advertising or public relations. Professional hands on experience is offered in student-run programs such as our award-winning TV program “L. I. News Tonight” and our Web-based radio station, WNYT, as well as in internships that give students the opportunity to work in the area of their specialization.
