Now more than ever, people access breaking news as it happens—on news websites, blogs, and social media, via computers and smart phones. Pace’s BS in Digital Journalism reflects the rapid change in this industry and prepares students for a robust and ever-evolving job market, with courses in digital newsroom, global newsroom, digital storytelling, audio and video production, and the fundamental skills for journalism. Hands-on Learning: In Pace's Communications Center, where students will take most of their classes, they will work with professional digital equipment such as HDV cameras, AVID and Final Cut Studio editing systems, and view films in the screening room, featuring digital video projection and a 92” screen. In required internships, students will earn academic credit and gain valuable professional skills as well as build a network of industry contacts for a lifetime. Students can join the student-run newspaper, The Pace Chronicle and cover events and issues of interest to the University community. Getting involved in the Pace Chronicle is a great way for students to apply what they learn in MCVA courses—students are involved in every aspect of the publication, including story idea generation, reporting, creating multimedia content, editing, budgeting, and community outreach. Stories are published throughout the week on pacechronicle.com as well as on social media and via the College News Source mobile app. Students may be eligible to join the Mu Iota Chapter of Lambda Pi Eta (LPH), a student organization of the National Communication Association. The Media, Communications, and Visual Arts department (MCVA) hosts an annual networking event, Connections in Communications, to bring together professionals in the field with current undergraduate majors, a great way for students to make contacts in the communications industry.
