Loren (Mexico), Media Communications (BA)
In a world where attention increasingly becomes a commodity, so too grows the demand for those skilled in raising awareness, constructing a narrative, and using media to purposefully and therefore also strategically communicate in order to fulfill an organization’s mission. A policy, promotion, or campaign that is based on strategic communication is one defined with an understanding of how persuasion, rhetoric, ethics, and writing for specific and also general audiences can be used tactically as part of a larger strategy. A strategic view of communication means a purposeful use of communications media to fulfill an organization’s mission (whether large corporate or political organizations or more community-based grassroots entities).

I chose to study Media Communications at Webster Vienna because of the practical work experience that the professors have in their fields. In the classroom we are not only learning theory, we are also expected to put knowledge into practice and create our own projects. This complementary approach to learning has allowed me to explore many areas in media communications and equip me with a set of skills that will be useful in any career path that I choose in the future.
