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. Every two years during the spring semester, the International Media class researches 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 have included Spain and Portugal, the United Kingdom, Italy, Iceland and Ireland, London, Bruges and Amsterdam, London and Paris, and Germany, among others.
