Laurea in Lettere - Comunicazione e Studi sui Media

One of the many aspects that distinguish Salem’s Communication Program is that it focuses on critical thinking, writing, and visual literacy, rather than stressing technical skills with software or hardware that will soon be outdated. You will gain a broad-based knowledge while honing your specialized skills through writing and video assignments, research projects, internships, independent study and work on any of our student-run media outlets.

As a communication student, you want to be responsive, reflective and responsible leaders and communicators in today’s global society. You are willing to accept challenges and learn from both sides of the brain. You also embrace Salem’s intimate and engaging classroom environment and strive to become the visionary thinkers, writers and communicators of tomorrow in any number of professional settings.

Salem College traces its history to April 1772, when the Moravian community of Salem, North Carolina, founded a school for girls and appointed Sister Elisabeth Oesterlein as its first teacher. Under the supervision of Salem’s boards and thanks to the teaching of the Single Sisters, the school flourished and provided the girls of late-eighteenth-century Salem with as rigorous an education as the boys of the town received.

As the oldest educational institution for girls and women in America, Salem Academy and College has a proud history of fostering independence in women.
