Abstract
As the number of journalism and mass communications programs offering a visual communications focused program grows, the curriculum of programs should be examined. This study uses open-ended questionnaire responses with program coordinators and capstone instructors in journalism and mass communications-based visual communications programs. It finds that capstones include internships, ethics courses, campaigns courses, and advanced praxis courses. It concludes that a blend of theoretical and practical understanding and application is the overriding outcome for programs.
