The Media and Communication Department offers a spring semester study abroad experience at Dublin City University (DCU) located in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. This study abroad program is especially designed for students majoring in Media and Communication, though it is open to all college students meeting the program prerequisites. All coursework is offered in the School of Communications at DCU. A member of the Muhlenberg Media and Communication faculty travels with students to Dublin for the semester. While at DCU, students enroll in 4 courses: The Dublin Seminar, a course in an accelerated format taught by the Muhlenberg faculty member; two Media and Communication electives taught by faculty at DCU; and COM 960 - Communication Internship  in a communication related field. An outside agency will match students with their internships during the semester prior to the study abroad experience.

Students participating in the Dublin Program must have completed the following prerequisites: COM 201 - Media & Society  and COM 231 - Documentary Research . Although it is not required, students are strongly encouraged to complete COM 301 - Media Theory & Methods  prior to their study in Dublin. Interested students should contact the Department Chair regarding application procedures and deadlines.
