Showrunners, journalists, screenwriters, designers, producers, influencers. They don’t just learn how important and award-winning work is made—they make the work. They make an impact. They make their names known. Working with expert professors and staff in media labs, studios, and interactive classrooms, Park students hone their creative vision. They find inspiration living and learning in the #1 college town in the United States. They make connections during immersive LA and NYC semester programs. They learn how the business of communications works, how to reach their audiences, how to tell the stories that need to be told. And it all starts day one.
