New literacies have become essential for the education of free men and women as envisioned by the Carthage College mission statement.

The faculty of the department actively support students in the identification and fulfillment of appropriate internships that challenge and extend their classroom learning. All students majoring in Communication is expected to demonstrate their intellectual grasp of the discipline, as well as their own artistic and communicative competencies, by successfully completing the senior capstone seminar, which involves a major thesis, project, or exhibition.
