The Telecommunications curriculum at Pepperdine University has the dual purpose of preparing students for career opportunities in the various areas of the electronic media and giving them the broad liberal arts education necessary to achieve success in this rapidly changing industry.

Telecommunications students may specialize in broadcast journalism (news) and production. As part of the major, students have the opportunity to work on Pepperdine's cable television and radio stations: Channel 26, Channel 6, and KWVS, which serve the campus and Malibu communities.
