Our
students are prepared to find fulfilling and financially rewarding
communication industry careers.
- Students come first. We think helping students
to achieve their goals should be our first priority, and it is.
- Classes are small. In our deparment, as
in almost all Austin Peay classrooms, class size is capped at
25 students. You get personal attention from your instructor.
- Learn by doing. Through internships,
practicums, and independent studies, students have the opportunity

often translates into jobs.

You're
taught by caring professors with excellent academic credentials
and real-world experience; and, not by graduate students.
