Also required:

Capstone Experience (Content in the Curriculum) - Effective Fall 2009, all Communication students are required to participate in Content Across the Curriculum whereby students in non-theoretical courses are required to participate in five (5) outside productions for each course. For example, Journalism students will be required to write five (5) articles for the Yellow Jacket; Video students will be required to participate in five (5) webcasts. These activities are scheduled on The Production Board and administered by the Chair. Student activity is accessed and feedback provided to the instructor on scheduling cards (one per student per assignment). The ultimate goal is for the student to assemble a detailed resume of projects as well as relevant work samples such as a video "reel," demo CD and writing and photographic samples.
