The Media Communications department at Redeemer University enables and encourages the next generation of storytellers with the technical skills and Christian vision to live, work, and lead in an evolving media world.
As part of its Reformed Christian mission, Redeemer’s Media and Communication Studies Department aims to equip students to interpret, assess, and interact with mass media in ways that enable them to discern the messages they are receiving and to understand the influence of those messages on both personal and collective identity. Further, the department seeks to shape the next generation of what Andy Crouch might call Christian culture-makers. Culture-making graduates will be grounded in a biblical worldview, will have the breadth of knowledge and learning that emerges from a liberal arts and sciences education, will have a deep philosophical understanding of media and culture, and will be equipped with the theoretical foundations and practical skills for working in the media and communication industry. As a result, the Media and Communication Studies Program prepares students for callings and careers that breathe the message of shalom into and through the major media forms that dominate our culture.
