Key Summary
Like people, every organization has a story to tell. Today, telling that story authentically is more important than ever. Picture this: as a future PR director, communications consultant, or social media specialist, you will be directly involved in growing the reputation and success of the company, ministry, or non-profit that hires you. Sound exciting? Read on.
SAMC grows leaders with an in-depth understanding of marketing, public relations, writing, speaking, and media. Corporate communicators are the voice of an organization. At TWU, you will learn how to deliver messaging that’s clear and consistent. And because you will learn what it means to develop personal and corporate ethics, the stories you tell will stand out for their integrity and authenticity—that’s the TWU difference.
Discover and refine your team-building, project management, media application and visual communication abilities—skills that will help future-proof a business and make you an invaluable member of any organization.

Are you interested in becoming a dynamic leader in the field of strategic communication, marketing, and public relations? Then this is your program!
The Department of Media + Communication and the School of Business at Trinity Western University have combined their resources to mentor students in these exciting fields:
- Marketing and advertising for businesses, ministries, and non-profit organizations. Learn to tell stories well about your organization.
