Jessica Berg Reinke ‘23 shares her career path after graduation, “I am so grateful for my degree! I feel like I learned such a wide range of skills, from things like optimizing social media posts to organizing full-blown PR and advertising campaigns. Getting to work with clients in real time through my social media class with Nia Johnson has helped me tremendously in my career so far with digital engagement.”

The Communication Studies minor focuses on human communication in various contexts and modes of expression. Our program equips students with skills for managing relationships, group work, and conducting research.

Lainey Pritchett '27 shares her internship experience as a Journalism & Mass Communication major!

Jonathan Bailey ‘14 shares his career path after graduating from Samford, “Go in with a beginner's mindset and a 1 Timothy 4:12 hunger and maturity. Get caught trying. College is a time to make mistakes, you don't have to graduate with everything all figured out. Journalism is a SMALL industry. Networking will get you further than talent alone ever could so don't be afraid to put yourself out there, look for mentorship, and build relationships with classmates.”
