Languages and Communication

The diverse faculty and staff of the Department of Languages and Communication work diligently to maintain a learning environment that enhances educational growth and professional opportunities for our students. The programs offer students a liberal arts education, emphasizing the acquisition of language and communication skills in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese, as well as advanced knowledge of media techniques.

The objective of the department is to prepare students for a broad range of careers in teaching, professional writing, interpersonal communication and public relations, and media production technologies. Historically, our primary task has been to provide Prairie View A&M University students with advanced verbal and written skills, technical media knowledge, preparation for graduate and professional schools, and career placement. The Department of Languages and Communication continues this mission and has updated resources, such as campus labs and computer software resources, to stay current with existing employment trends.

The highlights of the department include the recently renovated digital television studio in Hilliard, equipped with the latest in production technology; PC and Macintosh computer laboratories with cutting-edge software programs for video; a media and language performance laboratory; and courses in global languages.
