A. MISSION AND GOALS
MCCNM provides an applied curriculum that prepares students for careers in the media and related fields, such as radio and television programming, print and on-line reporting and publishing, interactive new media including digital audio and video production, and integrated communication and promotion in government, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors.

Students are required to specialize in at least one of five emphasis areas:
• Advertising
• Broadcasting
• New Media Studies
• News Editorial Journalism
• Public relations


1. Department goals 
(a) Offer a professionally credible program. (b) Provide a student-centered experience. (c) Create an applied learning environment. (d) Maintain a 30-year reputation for excellence.



2. The department maintains three highly visible media laboratories 
(1) TODAY online and print newspaper, (2) KTSC-FM, the "REV", 10,000-watt, radio station, and (3) KTSC public television station in collaboration with Rocky Mountain PBS. A minimal level of coursework will allow any student to participate in any of these media opportunities.

3. The department also provides internships in all sequence areas for any nonprofit, government, or for-profit organization. Broadcasting students work at local and statewide radio and television stations, journalism students write for local newspapers, and new media students design websites for a variety of nonprofit and for-profit organizations. The advertising and public relations students provide their skills to organizations such as the Colorado State Fair, Colorado Springs World Arena, Pueblo Chemical Depot, Parkview Medical Center, Pueblo Chieftain, and Colorado College Hockey, just to name a few organizations. Some students intern outside of Colorado during the summer recess. MCCNM students are in such demand that the department routinely cannot fulfill all the requests for student interns.
