Our program emphasizes storytelling as a universal form of communication. We believe that learning how to tell effective stories is an in-demand skill that can be used in almost any career you choose.

You also get easy access to the tools you need to create. Some colleges are so big, students can’t get their hands on the digital cameras, microphones, software, and other gear needed to make their content.

At CCSJ, we have dedicated labs and available equipment accessible to our majors. One example is Studio B, an audio production and graphic design lab on the second floor that students can access anytime the building is open.

You’ll take courses that teach you how to write well, so you can create content for social media, film/tv, digital news, business marketing, poetry and novels. You’ll also take technical courses in the Adobe Creative Cloud, which will teach you photo, video, and audio editing along with graphic design and more. You’ll also get to do hands-on projects and internships.

Graduates can work in film and TV production, journalism, marketing, public relations, publishing, digital media, advertising, and teaching. Jobs include English teachers, screenwriters, journalists, content strategists, social media managers, and marketing specialists. Starting salaries are usually between $40,000-$50,000 a year, and experienced professionals can make $60,000-$90,000 or more. High-level positions like creative directors can earn over $100,000 a year.

Yes! Our career services can help you connect with local media companies, production studios, marketing agencies, and publishing houses that offer internships and real-world experiences. These help you apply what you’ve learned, make professional connections, and gain valuable experience.

You can work on The Shavings and WaveTV, our digital news platforms. You can also join the English & Creative Writing club, which creates Against the Grain, our annual literary magazine with student writing, poetry, and art. These activities give you practical experience and a chance to show off your creative work. We also have fun activities and trips, like travel to writing and film conferences.
