Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.

- Edward R. Murrow

About Us

Hilbert College established the Communication Studies program in 2004 with a special mission: to combine a rigorous liberal arts education with a professional education that prepared each student for the work world. All students learn a broad range of skills, including media production, rhetoric, theory, law, ethics, history, and organization of the industry through a comprehensive core of classes, then can pursue tracks in Integrated Marketing, Interpersonal and Organizational Skills, Media Writing, and Media Arts. All students have access to state-of-the-art media technology through the Center for Creative Media, and work closely with a faculty of professionally experienced professors. Students are encouraged also to pursue alternative methods of education, including Internships and difficult but rewarding Independent Studies.
