Media in the Real World
Point Park University understands that learning isn't only done in the classroom — that's why the School of Communication offers opportunities for its students to experience the world of communication.
Each spring, students enrolled in the International Media class research the media and culture of a selected foreign country.
In May, the class culminates in a trip to the chosen country, where undergraduate and graduate students examine the country's print journalism, digital media, broadcasting, advertising, public relations, photography and photojournalism professions and document their experiences through blogs and interactive websites.
Past trips included: Spain and Portugal, the United Kingdom, Italy, Iceland and Ireland, London, Bruges and Amsterdam, London and Paris, Germany, among others.
Spring 2025: Ireland
COMM 390/590 students will spend the spring semester learning about international media. In May, the class will travel to Ireland to learn about Irish culture and media arts while they live, learn and tour.
