Majors
BA in Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC)
Integrated marketing communication (IMC) is the integration of all marketing communication tools under one strategic communication focus. It takes all communication tools from working in isolation to complementing each other, with the objective of communicating one unified message from the organization (or the brand) to its target consumers.
BA in Multimedia Communication and Journalism (MMCJ)
The journalism major involves the merging of the current print and broadcast sequences into a single (multimedia) journalism stream that exposes students to, and provides them with, basic skills for operating on all journalistic “platforms,” e.g. print, broadcast and the Internet.
BA in Middle East Studies
Middle East Studies is an interdisciplinary program. Middle East Studies courses are taught by faculty members from Anthropology, Arabic Studies, Economics, History, Management, Political Science, and Sociology.
Dual Degree: Political Science (B.A.) and International Human Rights Law and Justice (M.A.)
The Law Department also offers a dual degree which combines a BA in Political Science and an MA in International Human Rights Law and Justice. This dual degree creates a synergy between the existing BA in Political Science and MA in IHRLJ.

As an MMJ student, I gained the practical and theoretical skills that equipped me for my graduate studies. The faculty’s guidance and support helped me become a well-rounded journalist. My time at The Caravan especially provided me with a real-life newsroom experience that taught me the ins and outs of the industry and gave me an edge in the job market. It’s something that still comes up in conversations with editors and recruiters to this day.
