Cameras, audio equipment and editing software are just a few of the resources available to Saint Louis University students in the Communication Media Center.
You can create meaningful, compelling projects by combining an intellectual understanding of communication theory and practice with the software and digital devices available in the Communication Media Center.
From filming to finishing, you will develop the skills necessary for an expanding digital world. But the skills you learn aren't just technical. You will apply the essential concepts of effective communication that you learn in the classroom to your projects in the labs. With this combination of knowledge and ability, you will graduate with confidence in your capacity to create compelling messages.
Located in Xavier Hall, the Communication Media Center is the hub of student productions. Students leverage CMC resources to produce a wide range of media projects. Working independently or as a group, you will get hands-on experience with current technology, including:
- digital cameras and video recorders for image and video production
- computers to create, edit and refine class and club projects
- professional-grade software, including Adobe Creative Suite and Soundtrack Pro
- advanced audio equipment for interviewing and creating sound clips
Contact Cynthia Graville, the media center director, for more information on the Communication Media Center.
